Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, pursuant to the Answer of 28 November 2017 to Question 114582 on General Practitioners: Finance, if he plans to review the performance of the GP at Hand service at regular intervals.

As with all practices that hold a General Medical Services contract with NHS England, GP at Hand will be subject to contract monitoring to ensure compliance. In addition, GP at Hand will be subject to additional monitoring due to the model of care they are providing particularly during this early implementation phase to monitor compliance and track the implementation and impacts of the model.
