Watch our Direct Payments webinar on demand
The webinar was hosted in partnership with the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), NHS England and Improvement (NHSE&I) and Community Health Partnerships (CHP) and covers Direct Payments and how it can streamline funding flows.
GPs are reimbursed by Commissioners for some of their premises costs (rent, rates, water and clinical waste) under the Premises Cost Directions, and a GP should then pass these funds onto their landlord (NHSPS and CHP in this instance).
Under Direct Payments, these funds would pass directly across to NHSPS and CHP as landlord from the Commissioner, ensuring the funds do not leave the NHS (or DHSC group). This reduces administration for GPs through a reduction in transactions between commissioners, GPs and DHSC property companies and better clarity of charges for Commissioners.
