Primary Care: Buildings
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many new or extended primary care premises have been funded by integrated care boards in England in each of the last five financial years.
Answered by Stephen Kinnock
Data on new or extended primary care premises that have been funded by integrated care boards in England in each of the last five financial years is not held centrally.
The Premises Costs Directions (PCDs) are directions to NHS England from my Rt Hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, which provide a mechanism for the National Health Service to fund and deliver premises improvements, in the form of grants from commissioners to build extensions and carry out renovations, subject to discretion and available budget. They also allow reimbursements of certain costs incurred by General Medical Services contractors, relating to their practice premises, principally notional rent or rent reimbursement, and some day-to-day running costs.
