How this fits in

There has been no previous work looking at primary care funding or quality in the context of the devolution of the health and social care budget to Greater Manchester. Styled ‘DevoManc’, the devolution was promoted as a way to increase local autonomy and reduce the large health inequities in Greater Manchester. This work details how local control over primary care financing in Greater Manchester following devolution is limited, and primary care practices in highly deprived areas are not receiving additional funding, despite well described greater need.
