answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/02/2019 answer text <p>Major reform to the GP contract was announced at the NHS England Board meeting on 31 January 2019, which sets out significant investment in general practice, including a focus upon improving care to some of the most vulnerable patients through a multidisciplinary approach. Further information is available at the following link:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.england.nhs.uk/gp/gpfv/investment/gp-contract/" target="_blank">https://www.england.nhs.uk/gp/gpfv/investment/gp-contract/</a></p><p> </p><p>It also included changes to the Quality Outcomes Framework (QOF), reflecting the recommendations of the QOF Review published by NHS England in July 2018 is available at the following link:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/quality-outcome-framework-report-of-the-review.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/quality-outcome-framework-report-of-the-review.pdf</a></p><p> </p><p>Key changes to the QOF include:</p><p>- The retirement of 28 indicators which are either no longer in line with National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidance, suffer from known measurement problems (usually because of small numbers at a practice level) or represent core general practice activities (175 points);</p><p>- The introduction of 15 new indicators in relation to blood pressure management, diabetes, cervical screening, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and mental health (101 points). These should lead to improvements in patient care and ultimately outcomes;</p><p>- The replacement of exception reporting with a personalised care adjustment which recognises the necessity for practices to be able to tailor care to individual patients; and</p><p>- The introduction of a quality improvement domain worth 74 points in 2019/20 and, in the first year, focused upon prescribing safety and end of life care.</p><p> </p><p>A number of further reviews of the QOF domains are planned, including that for mental health. In relation to dementia specifically, the current indicator DEM005 (pre-diagnosis blood tests) will be retired due to the small numbers at practice level. This decision is in line with the recommendations of the QOF review. There are no changes to the other two dementia care indicators which focus upon identification and care planning.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 05/02/2019 15:12:42 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine

This body will support the development of further specialisms in social work practice, including dementia, helping deliver our ambition to continue to raise the quality and status of a profession which plays such a vital role in improving the lives of our most vulnerable people.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 03/02/2016 16:33:52 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
