General Practitioners
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what was the average proportion of NHS funding for GP practices contributed by the global sum payment for 2022/23.
Answered by Stephen Kinnock
In 2022/23, global sum payments to general practices were £4.4 billion, while total payments to general practices were £10.2 billion. The global sum accounted for 42.7% of funding. This figure includes practices who do not receive global sum payments but are instead paid under a Personal Medical Services or an Alternative Provider Medical Services contract.
For a median average practice, that had registered patients in 2022/23 and received global sum payments, those payments accounted for 63% of their total payments.
