A major review of payments to GP practices across Ayrshire and Arran is under way following an external audit which raised concerns about oversight and governance.

NHS Ayrshire & Arran currently pays around £1.1 million each year in GP Sustainability Payments to 11 practices.

These payments are designed to support surgeries operating under locally negotiated contracts.

Auditors found that contracts had not been assessed for many years and recommended tighter controls.
