The Board will be provided with a report on Quality Premium.

Dave Spencer, NEW Devon CCG provided the Board with a report on the Quality Premium.  It was reported that the Quality Premium was intended to reward clinical commissioning groups for achieving improvements in particular outcomes and reducing inequalities.  A discussion took place on whether the quality premium could be achieved because of the challenged health economy and may warrant further scrutiny.
