Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he plans to include GPs in the Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme.
Changes to the Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme are made as part of wider changes to the GP contract. As per the commitment set out in Changes to the GP Contract in 2023/24, we have engaged the profession, patients, integrated care systems, and other key stakeholders over the summer via an Expert Advisory Group, to inform the future general practitioner contract. Changes to the 2024/25 contract are subject to consultation with the British Medical Association General Practitioners Committee.
