I just wanted to run a theoretical case past my esteemed colleagues for an opinion. Say a PBC had agreed and minuted at a properly constituted locality board meeting last FY that they would distribute some 800k of money allocated to practice development/improvement grants. The money was to have been allocated on a capitation basis and practices were instructed to invoice at the end of the 06/07 FY. For the sake of argument say that the money was agreed to be distributed as part of the formal PBC budget setting methodology, and that practices formally signed acceptance of their budgets. If that PCT then merged (say) and the new bigger PCT organisation (say) was overspent and expressed regret but declined to honour that commitment due to financial constraints, would there be any recourse for the practices? All purely theoretically of course :-/ ********************************************************************** This message may contain confidential and privileged information.
