General Practitioners: Contracts

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he has taken to review the GP contract.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

We hugely value the critical role that general practitioners (GPs) play. We want to work with doctors to get the National Health Service back on its feet, so it works for patients and staff. Our plan to restore GPs will require both investment and reform.

The GP contract is reviewed and amended annually following consultation with relevant stakeholders, and we will begin the process in the coming months. Further detail will be made available to relevant stakeholders in due course.
