The Practice receives money from NHS Wales according to its contract for national General Medical Services in exchange for services provided for patients.
We are funded by the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, under the “Statement of Fees and Allowances Payable for General Medical Practitioners in England and Wales”.
GMS income is generated by capitation income, commissioning of QAIF services and enhanced services. Private income is generated by medicals and from a small amount of clinical trial work. Some premise expenses are reimbursed by BCU, some are charged to BCU for room usage.
Some medicines are bought in and the administration of generates an income, and a profit if bought at discount. This may be private or NHS depending on NHS policy
Expenditure is on premises, staff and equipment, and unspent “profit” is paid to the GPs as self-employed independent contractors.
The total income received from the NHS before expenses can be requested in writing by contacting the Practice Manager, at Felinheli Surgery, Rowen, Felinheli, Gwynedd, LL56 4RX.
