Information on the performance of contractors and recognition of good practice for October 2019 to September 2020.
This is not the latest release in the series: General practice disease registers
The Quality Assurance and Improvement Framework (QAIF) was introduced as part of the General Medical Services (GMS) contract reform for 2019-20. It replaces the Quality and Outcome Framework (QOF), which was originally introduced in 2004.
As a result of the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, QAIF reporting for 2019-20 was suspended with achievement set to full points. Therefore, achievement data is not presented in this publication.
Disease prevalence data for registers specified in QAIF are presented in a new interactive tool.
Main points
- Hypertension has the highest prevalence rate in Wales, with 15.9% of patients on GP lists on this register.
- 7.8% of patients aged 17 or more, registered to GPs in Wales were on the diabetes mellitus register.
- 2.4% of patients registered to GPs in Wales were on the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) register.
