It is being phased out because it is not fair. We want a simplified, fair and transparent system. The funding released from MPIG over seven years will be reinvested in the basic payments made to all GMS practices. For the majority of practices there will be a net gain in practice income. Making changes over this period will allow the minority of practices that lose funding to adjust gradually to a reduction in payments.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt grouped question UIN 6572 question first answered 20/07/2015 10:37:17 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

	uin	40143
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/06/2016 answer text <p>Patient safety continues to be paramount and the rules include a ‘break glass’ provision for trusts should there be a need to pay in excess of the agency price caps for patient safety reasons. Trust boards are responsible for monitoring the impact of price caps and ensuring patient safety. More broadly, the Care Quality Commission Chief Inspector of Hospitals has been clear that he wants to see fewer agency staff because of the patient safety implications - continuity of care being so important to good services for patients.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 14/06/2016 15:45:04 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
