To support Primary Care Networks, the Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme (ARRS) provides funding for 26,000 additional roles to create multi-disciplinary teams in general practice. There are 15 roles available under the ARRS to assist practices to provide patients with a range of services to meet local need.

‘Next steps for integrating primary care: Fuller stocktake report’ states that primary care teams should provide personalised care for patients to improve outcomes. The report recommends the formation of integrated neighbourhood teams, with primary care and community services working with partners on health prevention.
