| Annotation | Total purchasing (TP) developed out of the general practitioner (GP) fundholding scheme which was introduced in 1991/92. It means that a general practice, or group of practices, is delegated a budget by the local health authority in order to purchase a range of hospital and community health services for their patients which would previously have been purchased by the health authority and which lie outside the standard fundholding scheme. A number of national total purchasing pilots (TPPs) are in operation, and are the subject of a comparative evaluation which is being conducted between October 1995 and September 1998. This report examines how the idea of TP is being implemented in the 53 first wave national purchasing pilot projects in England and Scotland. Further reports will follow in 1997 and 1998. (AKM). |
