The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will take steps to require all primary care networks to publish annual accounts.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

The network directed enhanced service contract for primary care networks is held by individual practices, and there is no requirement to form separate legal entities or produce separate accounts. Where local arrangements have led to the creation of separate legal entities they are covered by existing company law and requirements to produce accounts.
