Answered by Neil O'Brien
A table showing the funding allocated to the general practice (GP) surgeries requested is attached, and is derived from the NHS Digital publication, ‘NHS Payments to General Practice’. This constitutes the majority of actual monies paid to the named GPs for all activities and costs during the financial years listed.
Practices may also receive payments via other funding streams which are currently not captured within the ‘NHS Payments to General Practice’ data publication. Some of these funding streams are from other organisations such as Local Authority Public Health Bodies, monies owed but not paid to individual practices, income from private services (including travel jabs and certificates) and local authorities investment from centrally led or procured elements of transformational investments, and investments by trusts in GP services in accident and emergency departments.
