Recommendation 37
37
Paragraph: 124
Unfair primary care funding mechanisms exacerbate pressures in deprived areas and entrench regional variation.
Conclusion
It is unacceptable that areas already under significant pressure due to high levels of deprivation, ill health and under-doctoring have these pressures compounded by unfair funding mechanisms which fail to take account of deprivation. It is particularly concerning that new funding mechanisms in the Primary Care Network contract repeat this failing and risk entrenching regional variation in the establishment of PCNs.
