Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to support GP services in West Yorkshire.

NHS England and NHS Improvement have advised that in the West Yorkshire and Humber area, the local strategy for delivering the general practitioner workforce ambitions and priorities is being led by the West Yorkshire and Humber Primary Care Workforce Steering Group. This group works collaboratively with place leads, professional committee, Health Education England and NHS England and NHS Improvement to deliver initiatives across primary care. Additionally, the National Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme has helped to increase the general practice workforce across a number of roles and had supported workload pressures within general practice.
