General Practitioners: Finance

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when GP practices will be informed about the funding settlement details for the next financial year.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

We are investing an additional £889 million in general practice (GP) to reinforce the front door of the National Health Service and bring back the family doctor, bringing total spend on the GP Contract to £13.2 billion in 2025/26. This is the biggest increase in over a decade and means we are reversing the recent trend with a rising share of total NHS resources going to GPs. Details of the contract were announced on 28 February 2025.
