GPs to trade in goodwill

GPs are to be allowed to trade in the goodwill value of some services under their new NHS contract. The sale of services and the associated goodwill will apply to additional and enhanced GP services, such as cervical screening, vaccination and out-of-hours services. Sale of the goodwill of essential, or basic, services will not be allowed.
