Abolish GP cash incentives in West Leicestershire
GPs should only have one thing on their mind, and that's making patients better. Scrap the cash incentive scheme for our local GPs.
Why is this important?
When you visit your GP, you want to know that the only thing on their mind is giving you the care you need. But our NHS is struggling because the government hasn’t given it the money it needs. It means NHS bosses are looking for any opportunity to save money. But setting financial incentives and arbitrary targets for GPs simply doesn’t make sense. And when it comes to the care our families get when we’re sick, it’s not right to force doctors to compromise.
The Royal College of GPs, and medical experts have raised the alarm about the cash incentive schemes.
The head of the Family Doctor Association said they’re a “serious dereliction of duty”.
The Royal College of GPs said "Cash incentives based on how many referrals GPs make have no place in the NHS, and frankly, it is insulting to suggest otherwise."
Tell local health bosses that patients’ needs should always come before profit!
