General Practioners: Contracts
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to ensure that the new GP contract provides financial security for GPs.
Answered by Stephen Kinnock
General practices (GPs) are valued independent contractors who provide over £13 billion worth of National Health Services. Every year we consult with the profession about what services GPs provide, and the money providers are entitled to in return under their contract, taking into account demand and the cost of delivering services.
We have started the 2026/27 GP Contract consultation, and we look forward to listening to a range of stakeholders to help strengthen policy making, ensuring that GPs works for staff and patients. Further details will be announced in due course.
