General practitioner fundholding: weighing the evidence.

A new development in the British National Health Service is fundholding, whereby certain general practitioners are given budgets from which they purchase services for patients. Our knowledge about fundholding is rudimentary. Many important questions remain unanswered. These include: the impact of fundholding on the efficiency of overall resource utilisation; its effect on strategic planning; its effect on equity; its impact on the role of the doctor and the doctor-patient relationship; and its consequences for practice organisation and the culture of primary care. Even the scant results we do have must be interpreted cautiously. Fundholding was introduced during a period of great turbulence for general practice. Its strategic function was uncertain and its impact has been confounded by the effects of a series of earlier and concurrent policy changes. Few reliable conclusions about fundholding, either positive or negative, can be drawn from existing research.
