To ask the Secretary of State for Health what plans he has to issue quality and outcome framework targets to GPs for diabetes screening.
[155377]
- Answer
-
The national Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF) is a voluntary incentive scheme that provides additional reward to general practitioner (GP) practices for how well they care for patients based on performance against a number of agreed indicators.
Since 2004, GPs have been paid incentives for providing the nine basic checks on people with diabetes. Performance and patient care has improved considerably as a result of this.
The latest list of indicators is available here:
