Polypharmacy 73.1 Stephen McBurney spoke to the paper ‘Polypharmacy 2014/15 Project Proposal’ outlining the work undertaken through 2012/13 and 2013/14 to deliver the actions set out in CEL 36 (2012). 73.2 Members noted the evaluation of outcomes from the 2012/13 polypharmacy project in Lothian and that feedback from GPs has been generally positive. Members agreed that this is a high quality project that has clear patient safety and clinical care benefits. PCJMG supported the continuation of the project into 2014/15 providing the funding source is identified. SB indicated he would update the Prescribing Forum on this basis. 73.3 Funding: members suggested topslicing the CH(C)P prescribing budget, subject to CH(C)P General Managers agreement, noting that funding is effectively cost neutral. 74. Edinburgh Infrastructure Plan 74.1 David White presented a paper on ‘Population Growth and Primary Care Premises in Edinburgh’ detailing recommended actions to adjust the existing primary care infrastructure to the needs of the steadily growing Edinburgh population and outlining work already undertaken to address the issue. The paper also summarised GP feedback from the 5 locality meetings. 74.2 Members commented: • Paper records take up space and should be stored securely off site or scanned. DW acknowledged this advising it will be considered at second level detail • It should be fed back to Scottish Government that there is no incentive for GPs/Health Boards to build new practice premises. • Engage in discussions with Edinburgh Council regarding premises. • No mention of LUCS in the paper however this will be added in the second phase. 75. Murrayfield Medical Practice Payment for Medical Cover of Ferryfield House and Corstorphine Hospital 75.1 Members supported the recommendation that Murrayfield Medical Practice be paid a rate of £212 per four hour session for 9.5 sessions per week to provide primary medical services to Ferryfield House and Corstorphine Hospital, backdated to 1 April 2013 and ending on 31 March 2014.
