In an audacious move, the public health system in the UK is to offer monetary rewards to doctors for keeping patients away from hospitals. That is an attempt to reduce the state’s healthcare burden.
That way doctors could stand to earn thousands of pounds extra under the initiative, reports say.
In a variety of schemes, which differ from region to region, General Practitioners (GPs) are said to have been offered unprecedented cash incentives for deciding not to refer a patient for specialist treatment. Surgeries are given a target of how many patients they should refer to hospital each year and will receive a windfall payment if they meet the quota.
Conversely, the money is lost if the surgery sends more patients to hospital than allowed for under the health authority target.
The Mail on Sunday has established that in Oxfordshire each surgery will be given a target of how many patients it should refer to hospital every year. If it meets those quotas, it will be eligible for a bonus payment of up to £10,000.
GPs in the region will be paid a similar amount to set aside additional time to review decisions on whether patients should be given hospital appointments.
It was reported last night that under another local scheme, doctors in Torbay in Devon could make £59 for every patient not referred. Practices in London, Essex and Wiltshire were said to be in line for £4.50 for every patient on their list if they meet targets which include a curb on the number of referrals.
