Lecture: Why does the UK keep investing in primary care

Public Lecture: Why does the UK keep investing in primary care? Is it really effective?

Professor Martin Roland, CBE, from the University of Cambridge, delivered a public lecture at the ANU on Thursday, 8 March 2012.

One consistent feature of UK health policy has been continued investment in primary care over more than 20 years. Professor Martin Roland reviewed the thinking behind this focus on primary care and assessed the extent to which investment has been wisely spent. He assessed the impact of a pay for performance scheme in which 25% of GPs' income now relates to the quality of care that they provide and describe the rationale for current reforms which will give groups of GPs responsibility for 70% of the secondary care budget.

Professor Martin Roland, CBE, is the Chair in Health Services Research at the University of Cambridge in 2009.
