Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether there exists a standard contract for general practitioners working within the National Health Service; and if so, whether they will place a copy of that contract in the Library of the House.

NHS England has responsibility for commissioning National Health Service primary medical services.

NHS England has an NHS England Standard General Medical Services contract, which covers around half the GP practices. A copy of the contract is available at:

www.england.nhs.uk/ourwork/commissioning/gp-contract/

NHS England also intend to provide a standard Personal Medical Services contract.
