I just don’t get why NHSE cannot recognise that practice costs are every month. You cannot therefore fund a service just by putting more and more lump sum “reward” payments at the end of the year which come with more conditions. It needs investment up front.
Practices need support not PCNs …
Practices need support not PCNs …
IIF is not practice support
Out of touch with reality. Out of touch with where the cost increases are.

But why Peter … why ? Whoever provides the service be it GP partners , hospitals , private companies etc needs funding to match the cost profile. These people clearly have no understanding of how the business of healthcare operates

They do seem to have recognised this a bit. Big chunk of IIF next year coming as a monthly payment. Not that I agree with overall NHSE’s approach but this might actually be helpful.

30% still doesn’t … and it goes to PCNs not practices. What if a practice in a PCN can’t deliver eg staff shortages - impacts everyone else. Imagine if all of that IIF money actually went to core support … would go a long way to meeting the cost increases practices are facing

They won't recognise the obvious, till it's too late and they have a salaried model with layers and layers of management picking up everything the partners did.
