Exclusive: GPs in more than 70 areas told to limit NHS Health Checks

New FOI data gathered by Pulse has uncovered that more than 70 local authorities out of 151 in charge of commissioning the programme declared they are limiting the number of health checks that GP practices can carry out and be reimbursed for every year – and GPs warned this is effectively limiting the number of patients that can access the checks.

Should we be concerned?

Perhaps the commissioners think that the time spent on this would be better spent on people needing access to other services in the surgery.
In my area there’s a van going around doing the over 40’s checks, so perhaps that’s a more efficient way to do it, freeing up time in the surgery

@PersephoneParlormaid the blind trust in corruption is sad.

@MsGreying yes I think we should be concerned. Every use of any public service is a battle these days.
