The GPC has published a Focus on quality indicators briefing to provide background and context in preparation for the forthcoming negotiations on the Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF) and the potential changes following the current QOF review, led by NHS England. The review brought together key stakeholders to analyse current evidence and other incentive schemes, with the intention of delivering proposals on the future of QOF.

The GPC has highlighted, and NHS England agrees, that a significant proportion of QOF funding is core income for practices and is an essential resource used for the employment of practice staff, and is already committed to delivering important practice activities. The briefing can be accessed on the GPC activities page and QOF guidance page.
