Achieving The Correct Appointment Versus Patient Ratio

Where the GP partners at any particularly are unable to continue to provide the services laid out in the GMS contract then health boards will take over the running of the practice until new and appropriate GP partners can be found.

In Fife there are currently 53 GP practices, with a small number currently managed by NHS Fife after the previous GP partners were no longer able to provide their contracted local general medical services.
