 covers the payments PCTs will make to GMS practices to protect income levels in
relation to some previous fees and allowances and is delivered through the correction





Premises Income
 Cost
rent
 Notional
rent
Cost Rent

The Cost Rent Scheme is no longer used. It previously
existed for new extended or refurbished surgeries.

The Cost Rent Scheme, as its name implies, is more
closely associated to the costs involved, as opposed to
the associated rental levels. Its purpose was to
reimburse the cost of finance from providing new or
considerably modified buildings.
Notional Rent

Re-imburse Doctors who own their surgery.

The Notional Rent remuneration based on the Current
Market Rental (CMR) value for the property i.e. what it
would let for on the open market.

District Valuer assesses for PCT. GPs can involve
professional advisors.

A primary factor affecting value is location.

Enhanced Services

• Enhanced services are services not provided through essential or
additional services,
• or essential and additional services delivered to a higher specified
standard.
• Key tool to help PCTs reduce demand on secondary care.
Their main purposes are to expand the range of local services to
meet local need, improve convenience and choice, and ensure value
for money. They were designed to provide a major opportunity to
expand and develop primary care, and give practices greater
flexibility and the ability to control their workload.
Directed Enhanced Services







NES are enhanced care of the homeless, more
specialised services for multiple sclerosis and
specialised care of patients with depression

E.g. IUCD, Minor Injuries, NPT, Amber Drugs
*
Local Enhanced Services
Up to the PCT what they commission, how much & how
