Abstract

The evaluation of the Total Purchasing Pilots (TPPs) provides important lessons for the development of the new primary care organisations envisaged in the English, Welsh and Scottish NHS white papers. Despite originating in a very different context, total purchasing was essentially about groups of practices working together to develop services with a shared budget. This report summarises the lessons learnt from their development and effectiveness.
