Answer
In 2017/18, NHS England reviewed the Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF) in general practice. The final report, published in 2018, concluded that there were aspects of QOF which are valued and valuable, but that improvements were necessary to deliver better patient care. ‘A five-year framework for GP contract reform to implement The NHS Long Term Plan’, published in 2019, implemented the findings of this review, including via the creation of a new Quality Improvement domain and modifying existing indicators to improve efficacy.
