Summary

Locality commissioning involving general practitioners (GPs) in Scotland and England showed benefits primarily in professional relationships, not service changes. Most health authorities adopted this model, but significant service alterations were not evident.

Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Primary Care Management
  • Healthcare Policy

Background:

  • Locality commissioning models vary in their integration of general practitioner (GP) participation.
  • Understanding the perceived successes and challenges of these models is crucial for healthcare management.
  • Previous research has not fully explored the impact of GP involvement in locality commissioning on service delivery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate different models of locality commissioning and their relationship with GP participation.
  • To explore the perceived successes of locality commissioning in Scottish health boards and English health authorities.
  • To identify the types of locality commissioning organizations based on GP influence.

Main Methods:

  • A postal questionnaire was distributed to 190 individuals involved in commissioning.

  • Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 31 GPs and 41 health authority managers across 28 health authorities.
  • Analysis of commissioning models based on the level of GP influence over decision-making.

    • Main Results:

    • Seventy-five percent of health authorities had implemented some form of locality commissioning.
    • Five distinct types of locality commissioning organizations were identified based on GP influence.
    • While all GP respondents reported benefits (e.g., improved professional relationships), only 27% of health authority respondents agreed, with few reporting service changes.

    Conclusions:

    • Locality commissioning, despite widespread adoption, has primarily fostered improved professional relationships rather than significant service or contract modifications.
    • The level of GP influence appears to be a key factor in the perceived success of locality commissioning.
    • Further research is needed to understand how to translate GP involvement into tangible service improvements within locality commissioning frameworks.
