Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to formally consult organisations representing non-GP members of primary care multi-disciplinary teams, before negotiating the next GP contact, DES and ARRS.

The Department and NHS England and NHS Improvement engage on an ongoing basis with a wide range of professional groups on issues relating to primary care. These groups’ views and feedback help to inform priorities for negotiations with the British Medical Association on the GP Contract.
