�This is the fourth quarterly practice survey, covering a sampling of
practices from each primary attention trust (PCT), conducted betwixt June
and August 2008. The aims of the survey ar to get feedback from
practices on their perception of the support offered by their PCT and
on the clinical and financial engagement of practices with PBC. The
go over is portion of a group of indicators that will be assessed
together to give a scene of PBC implementation.
Key findings
- Net support for PBC (Practice Based Commissioning) continues to
climb up from Wave 1, with a 12 percentage point rise over the 4 Waves
(+37 in Wave 1, +42 in Wave 2, +45 in Wave 3 and now +49 in Wave 4).
- The part of practices commissioning new services as a direct
result of PBC continues to rise as it has in each of the premature
waves. 46% commissioned at least unitary new service, whilst this figure
was 33% in Wave 1, a 13 percentage point rise.
- The balance of practices agreeing that PBC has improved patient
care has marginally increased from 12% in Wave 2 and 16% in Wave 3,
up to 18% in Wave 4. The proportion who disagree that PBC has
improved patient caution is loosely in agate line with that of the previous
2 waves (29% in Wave 4, 31% in Wave 3, 30% in Wave 2, and 31% in
Wave 1).
- 74% of practices claim to have a good relationship with their PCT
(71% in Wave 3, 74% in Wave 2 and 72% in Wave 1).
- The percentage of practices wHO engage with their local population
has continued to rise as it has over the course of the premature
waves. In Wave 4 25% land that they do not engage with their local
population, compared to 35% in Wave 2.
- The proportion of practices rating their PCT's managerial support
for PBC as good has increased since Wave 3 (up 4 percentage points
from 40% in Wave 3 to 44% in Wave 4). However, those rating
managerial support for PBC as poor stay on to outweigh those world Health Organization
think it is effective (48 per cent in Wave 4).
