Development of newly designed enhanced services (“Local Enhanced Services” and “Directed Enhanced Services”);
Design of local incentive schemes as an alternative to the Quality Outcomes Framework (QOF);
Decision making on whether to establish new GP practices in an area;
Review all requests from Member Practices relating to any adjustments to practice lists;
Decision making on approving of practice mergers, and for retirements and resignations to seek assurance in relation to services in the event of resignations or retirements; and in relation to plans for procurement, if any,
Making decisions on ‘discretionary’ payment (e.g., returner/retainer schemes).
