“Doctors have been given bonuses for drawing up ‘end-of-life advanced care plans’ for patients they predict will die within a year. The payments in question apparently have the intention of keeping NHS costs as low as possible. A ‘key objective’ of the project – which underwent a trial period in England’s east – was ‘to shift the place of death’ away from hospitals, thus ‘reducing …healthcare costs.’ The ‘Yellow Folder’ pilot scheme was trialed in 41 medical practices in Ipswich and East Suffolk, and lasted from July 2011 until last month. The doctors received payment for every care home patient they successfully signed up to an end of life plan.”
