We have acted to strengthen the link to clinical guidance within the General Medical Services contract, which states that GPs should provide care for patients with consideration of national and local guidelines, including NICE guidance. Community Health Pathways have been commissioned nationally to support GPs in ensuring that national guidelines are adapted for local use.
We would therefore expect current NICE respiratory guidance to already be implemented by GMS practices. It is the responsibility of Local Health Boards to assure themselves that the contracts they commission are being delivered.
