HC Deb 22 May 2002 vol 386 c418W
Mr. Brady

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what incentive payments are available to general practitioners meeting vaccination targets. [52235]

Yvette Cooper

Under general medical services, the childhood immunisation programme target payment is £2,730 per annum if a general practitioner immunises 90 per cent. of children aged two on his partnership list or £910 per annum if 70 per cent. of children are immunised. The pre-school booster target payments are £810 per annum if 90 per cent. of children aged five on a GP's partnership list are immunised or £270 per annum for 70 per cent. Personal medical services incentive payments for vaccinations and immunisations are negotiated as part of the personal medical service agreement but are broadly similar to those payable to GPs working under general medical service arrangements.
