directed enhanced service

An enhanced service, which all Local Health Boards must commission or provide by central Government mandate. Because enhanced services are non-core general medical services (GMS), the GPs in a particular area are paid by the local primary care trust (PCT) for providing DESs over and above their salaries as GPs.
