NHS England has been criticised by a group of MPs over its "ineffective" oversight and "conflicts of interest" in out-of-hours GP services.
The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) said NHS England had "not provided effective" oversight of whether out-of-hours GP services are serving patients well and providing value for money.
"There is an inherent risk of conflicts of interest in the current system of commissioning out-of-hours GP services, where GPs who are members of Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) are able to commission services from organisations in which they have a financial interest," said Margaret Hodge MP, chair of the PAC.
