- A survey of local commissioners about their use of financial incentives linked to numbers of programme referrals and attendances from 5170 general practices in England between April 2016 and March 2018 found that financial incentives were offered by commissioners in the majority of areas (89%), with 38% using structure incentives, 69% using process incentives and 22% using outcome incentives. Outcome incentives were the only form of pay-for-performance to stimulate more participation in this national disease prevention programme.
