There were minor amendments made to QOF for 2016-17, they are:

  • An adjustment to the value of a QOF point taking account of population growth and relative changes in practice list size from 1 January 2015 to 1 January 2016. The national average list size as of 1 January 2016 is 7460 and the value of a QOF point for 2016/17 will be £165.18
  • No changes to thresholds for 2016/17
  • No changes to QOF indicators

In next year's negotiations NHS Employers and the GPC will discuss ending QOF in its entirety.
