Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many Clinical Commissioning Groups are participating in the National GP Retention Scheme as of 5 July 2022.

The responsibility for the National GP Retention Scheme transferred to integrated care boards (ICBs) from 1 July 2022. The Scheme is available in all 42 integrated care systems in England. A general practitioner can apply to the Scheme via Heath Education England locally, which is then considered by the relevant ICB.
