(asked on 30th October 2014) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many GP Super-Practices he plans to set up by the end of 2014.
This question was answered on 6th November 2014
NHS England is responsible for commissioning general practice services. Their Five Year Forward View announced that they will support practices to become Multispeciality Community Providers (MCPs), sometimes referred to as ‘Super-Practices’. These could be in the form of single practices, loose federations of multiple practices, or mergers between practices.
NHS England has advised that no assessment has been made as to how many MCPs will emerge by the end of 2014.
