We are in discussions with 16 Nottingham and Nottinghamshire GP practices in relation to overpayments made in error for out of hours services where they were not provided.
In all cases, the overpayments began following a change in contract status and the periods and amount of overpayment varies from practice to practice. All overpayments were stopped from 1 October 2023.
We regret any impact this may have on practices, but we must take into account that these are public funds, intended for NHS services and paid in error for a service that has not been provided. We are speaking with the practices individually about repaying the monies overpaid and are offering the option of repayment over an agreed period to reduce the impact on practice budgets.
