Great to see @rcgp calling for extra funding for practices in deprived areas as part of 'a comprehensive review of the Carr-Hill formula'.

Hot on heels of @NikkiKF and great news for #generalpractice @deependgp

A reminder of why 🧵👇

pulsetoday.co.uk/news/workforce….
General practice in deprived areas has:

- More demand/higher patient need
- Less funding
- Fewer GPs

Very hard to fix #healthinequalities in the context of inequitable supply.

More on that: health.org.uk/publications/r…
We looked at 30 years of attempts to tackle this #inversecarelaw in general practice.

Since 2004, all attempts have existed in the context of a flawed funding formula.

Hard to 'fix' workforce inequities unless funding is fairer - so action on CH key.

General practice in areas of high deprivation is under-funded and under-doctored relative to need.

Paper out today on why Govt needs to ‘level-up’ general practice & where they should focus.

Ppl who live in more deprived areas have greater health need.

-They are more likely to have multiple health conditions

-And they accumulate those conditions at an earlier age.

Need is 🔼, so you'd expect there to be🔼supply of health care. BUT.....
💰💰💰

- General practices serving more deprived populations receive less funding than practices serving more affluent ones.

- Once you adjust for need, practices serving the most deprived areas get around 7% less funding than practices in the most affluent areas
