Abstract/OtherAbstract:
This paper reviews the empirical evidence about the effects of the 1990 general practitioner (GP) contract on the provision of medical services in the United Kingdom. A brief outline of the major changes instigated by the 1990 GP contract is given. Studies of the implementation of the changes tend to focus on either trend analysis, cost-effectiveness or medical practice variation. These studies are reviewed and the implications for the efficiency of primary health care are discussed.
