Abstract

While most GP practices participating in total purchasing have some experience of contracting with health care providers, the extension of their responsibilities has, in many cases, taken them into entirely new areas and posed a set of challenges for primary care-based purchasing. This paper concentrates on a central element of this new purchasing activity, namely, the contracting process.
