There are no current plans to change the way that primary care network (PCN) accounts, where required, are published. There is no requirement for practices to form separate legal entities when establishing a PCN account, and the Directed Enhanced Service is held by individual practices. Where local arrangements have led to the creation of separate legal entities, they are covered by existing company law and requirements to produce accounts.
