GPs who dispense drugs from their own practice could be costing the NHS £7MILLION GPs who dispense drugs from their own practice could be costing the NHS more than £7million per year by choosing more expensive medications.
Experts say the NHS's reimbursement system has created a 'financial conflict of interest in treatment decisions'.
Specifically, it allows doctors to choose medicines which are costlier but are no more effective than their cheaper counterparts.
This, the researchers claim, allows some GPs to negotiate and buy drugs at lower prices but still be reimbursed the full cost by the NHS, increasing their profits. The Daily Mail
