It should not be down to incentive..it should be down to having the books up to date...the correct database.
But in a sense....you are right...it is in the interests of the practice to keep ghost patients on their books as it means money for doing nowt......but surely that is defrauding the NHS.
GPick...when you go in to the practice i reckon there will not be many of the names of Doctors that you will recognise...certainly of the era of Mike Hipwell( a great GP and a thoroughly good chap - I know because I worked with him at QPH way back in the late seventies).
