PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
General Practitioners: Finance (15 July 2022)

‘A five-year framework for GP contract reform to implement The NHS Long Term Plan’, published in 2019, is supported by an additional investment of £4.5 billion in primary medical and community care by 2023/24. In 2020, we announced at least an additional £1.5 billion until 2023/24 to expand the general practice workforce and improve access for patients.

Funding is allocated to general practitioner practices based on the size of the registered patient list and factors such as geographical location. The amount of funding for general practice is adjusted each year and individual practice funding is calculated on a quarterly basis taking into account relevant factors such as patient list size changes.
