Pushing more and more to outsorce services especially companies that can take on a management role. Totally PLC are heading that way.
Commissioners re-procure through a
single contract all relevant services �
including core general practice. The
contract holder will be lead provider
in many cases for a broad range of
community and primary medical
services � and, in some cases, hospitalbased services. The involvement of
core primary care services under the
main contract would require GPs to be
released from their existing GMS, PMS or
APMS contract. GMS and PMS contracts
could be suspended with the potential
for them to be �reactivated� later. NHS
England has worked with the BMA
and the Department of Health on the
changes in regulations needed to enact
this suspension option, and it is expected
to be available from 2018/19. As with
the partial model, the holder of the ACO
contract could sub-contract some service
delivery � including primary care services,
to practices, where they choose to be
sub-contractors.
