We already provide some of these extra services to a proportion of patients in the area. Would we have to do these through the Assura GP Provider Company?
No, unless there was agreement and clear benefits of moving it into the GPCo. There are three ways we can integrate already established services into the GPCo: • deliver the services through the GPCo more efficiently, to a larger population than the current service. • keep your established services. The first decision of the GPCo and its management board would be to agree not to compete with these services. • agree a gradual migration of the service to the GPCo as the organisation proves its benefits.
