General Practitioners: Recruitment

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many GPs have been employed under the Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

Primary care networks have been able to recruit newly qualified general practitioners (GPs) through the scheme since October 2024, with £82 million in funding provided in 2024/25. Information on the number of recently qualified GPs for which primary care networks are claiming reimbursement via the Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme is currently being collated, but is not yet published. We are working to verify the data and establish its reliability, which is necessary before any dataset can be published.
