This programme of work focuses on making financial savings through effective use of the resources available to us. This includes ensuring all GP practices provide the same level of high quality care and provide some specialist services closer to home, rather than in a hospital setting.
A major piece of work has been to look at GP referral rates and understand what conditions patients are being referred to hospital and other specialist services. This work has led to a consistent approach across Milton Keynes, with fewer patients being referred for inappropriate treatment.
