<p>The national Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF) is a voluntary incentive scheme
that provides additional reward to general practitioner (GP) practices for how well
they care for patients based on performance against a number of agreed indicators.
Each indicator is worth a maximum number of points and GP practices are then rewarded
financially on the number of points they achieve. All GP practices can choose to take
part in QOF and the majority choose to do so.</p><p> </p><p>NHS Employers publish
detailed guidance on the QOF. A copy of this guidance has been placed in the Library.</p><p>
