GPs will be paid ?13 per patient for those who visit them on a ?day' basis, as part of a pilot scheme to allow patients to register with practices away from home.

The pilot scheme, due to begin on 30 April, will allow patients to visit participating practices for a one-off consultation while still holding their registration at their home practice.
The pilot scheme will run across six PCT areas - Nottingham, Westminster, Tower Hamlets, Manchester, Salford and City and Hackney - and it will be voluntary for practices to take part.
The pilot will last for one year, when discussions will be held with the GPC on its future.
