Asked by:
Karin Smyth (Labour)

Answer

The Delivery plan for recovering access to primary care includes £645 million funding over two years to expand the services offered by community pharmacies. It retargets funding to help general practices provide better access for their patients, with £240 million going to provide digital tools, telephony and training, and also leverages existing investments in NHS.uk, the NHS App, and other IT development work. Where monies allocated are retargeted they will come from existing National Health Service budgets.
