GP-led commissioning: January 2011 omnibus

In March 2011 the Nuffield Trust conducted a ’snapshot’ survey of health leaders to test their views and attitudes towards the Government's NHS reforms. While not a comprehensive, representative sample of views among policy-makers and expert opinion on the NHS, the findings outlined in our Snapshot survey of health leaders on the Government’s NHS reforms, provide a useful starting point for debate on the reform programme.

We supplemented this analysis, by working in partnership with the online community Doctors.net.uk to conduct two surveys of their members to shed more light on GPs’ expectations of how consortia will work and the support they believe they will need.  This presentation illustrates the key findings of the January 2011 poll. View the key slides from the February 2011 poll, and download the findings of both surveys.

Ipsos MORI, commissioned by the Nuffield Trust, conducted a further survey of a representative sample of the public (1,000 people) in England, to explore their views on the reforms. Download the findings of the Ipsos Mori survey and view the key slides.
