Angus Chambers: GP Owners' Association Chair backing calls for Government to make better use GP data

Description

The GP Owners' Association's backing calls for the Government to make better use of primary care data.

A New Zealand Initiative report says information from GP clinics isn’t being systematically collected, unlike hospital and prescription data.

It argues the information could help identify prescribing issues and prevent unnecessary hospital admissions.

Association Chair Angus Chambers told Andrew Dickens this has been an acknowledged gap for a long time.

He says it has been collected individually before, but not systematically, which requires investment.
