The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 28 April 2025 to Question 46099 on General Practitioners: Average Earnings, what year the value of £15.94 per hour for Cambridgeshire relates to.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

The value of £15.94 per hour for Cambridgeshire is from the staff market forces factor used for global sum payments to general practices, based on earnings data for 1999 to 2001.

Plans to review the Carr-Hill funding formula may be revisited in future. However, any changes would need careful planning to ensure they do not threaten stability or cause financial uncertainty for practices.
