| Annotation | The Department of Health (DH) is consulting on proposals for a new process to develop and recommend indicators for the Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF) of the general practitioner (GP) contract, which is to be led by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE). Age Concern England (ACE) and Help the Aged believe that it is essential that the new process is based on a holistic approach to patient care, and that indicators should serve to promote a good patient doctor relationship. They recommend that criteria such as health inequalities of some population groups (e.g. people living in care homes) and multiple morbidities should be included in the QOF. The QOF should also be piloted and evaluated before any decision is made about introduction nationally. (RH). |
