CQC reveals registration cost proposals for GPs

 GP practices will be expected to front a £6m bill towards the cost of CQC registration in the first year of the process, the regulator has revealed.

Subject to consultation, the CQC's proposals mean that most GP practices will be paying between £550 and £850 for registration in the first year, with the maximum fee set at £15,000. However this could rise in the second year when the CQC is intending to recover more of its funding through fees.

The regulator has estimated the cost of registering primary care at a total of £12m during the first year, out of which it has committed to the Treasury to recover 50% in fees.
