The Health and Social Care Act of 2012 - making GPs lead Clinical Commissioning Groups - did not reduce overall hospitalisations study concludes.
"[G]iving control of healthcare budgets to GP-led CCGs was not associated
with a reduction in overall hospitalisations and was associated with an
increase in specialist visits.
