Thank you for your request for information about the following:

Request

‘I am writing to request further clarification regarding the calculation of the weighted PLS, specifically how it is applied to different practices. I understand that the Carr-Hill formula is used, but I would appreciate more detailed information on how the indices listed on the GPP slips are calculated, particularly: Practice List Turnover Index (PLTI) Practice Age/Sex Index (PASI) Practice Market Forces Factor Index (PMFFI) Practice Additional Needs Index (PANI) These indices appear on the GP Monthly Payment slips for GMS contracts, and I would like to understand the specific formulas used for each. If possible, could you provide the relevant calculations or any documentation that outlines these processes? Thank you in advance for your assistance. I look forward to your response.’
