The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department plans to increase core funding for GP practices.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

We are investing an additional £889 million into core funding for general practice (GP) to reinforce the front door of the National Health Service, bringing total spend on the GP Contract to £13.2 billion in 2025/26. This is the biggest increase in over a decade, and we are pleased that the General Practitioners Committee England is supportive of the contract changes.
