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 🧵👇

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.

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.

There will rightfully be a debate about the best way to do this. Bring back deprivation payments? Fix Carr-Hill? Both?
All will be easier if overall funding increases (so avoid a 'losers effect').
Great to see @rcgp @NikkiKF supporting such important change.
