General Practice - Quality & Outcomes Framework

2006/07 Achievement data at practice level - individual indicators

Click on the links below for excel tables containing data at practice level for individual QOF indicators, 2006/07, Scotland.  The data are grouped in two ways and can be accessed either by indicator group / domain or by NHS Board area. 

Please note:

• Some of the files are large and may take time to download.  They are generally not suitable for printing.
• Practices within the former NHS Argyll & Clyde (dissolved after 31st March 2006) are included under their new Board - NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde, or the enlarged NHS Highland.
• It is essential to take note of each practice's contract type.  In particular, practices with section 2c or 17c contract types may use only some of the QOF indicators, as part of their own, individualised, quality framework.  Where this is the case, recorded achievement under QOF may appear relatively low, but this should not be taken to mean that such practices are not providing a high level of service to their patients.
• For some practices it may be impossible to achieve all the points available in the framework.  For example, some of the clinical indicators relate to very specific subgroups of patients, and if the practice does not have any patients in that particular subgroup, they cannot score any points against the relevant indicator(s).
• Data are shown for those practices whose points and payments were signed off (or finalised prior to sign-off) at 1st August 2007.  QOF achievement points and payments remain to be agreed for some practices.  Additionally, it is possible that further small adjustments may be made for practices whose data have been signed off.
