[QUOTE="bulkbiker, post: 2441988, member: 219467"] So.. most doctors surgeries in England at least are independent businesses and not run by the NHS. They are partnerships with some doctors being partners and others being salaried. They are financially incentivised to attain certain targets in treatment of various conditions and are reported on annually. Surgeries receive payments based on the percentage of patients they have prescribed certain treatments too. For example at my local surgery we can see [ATTACH=full]51325[/ATTACH] This is from the Quality and Outcomes Framework [URL]https://qof.digital.nhs.uk/search/index.asp[/URL] Its very hard to find out exactly how much they get for the various "treatments" but it does explain why some doctors are quite keen to reach for the prescription pad when they see a new patient, or "cash cow", depending on your perspective..
