GPs want MMR taken out of pay equation

While generally supporting the triple MMR vaccination of children, family doctors at the BMA conference have called for a change in the way they are paid for reaching targets. Currently GPs get almost £1,000 for a 70% take-up, and £3,000 for 90%. Their objection is that, knowing that doctors have a financial interest in their compliance, parents are more likely to mistrust their advice.
