Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he plans to continue funding for PCARP Digital Pathways in the 2025-26 financial year.

As part of the Primary Care Access and Recovery Plan for 2024/25, integrated care boards (ICBs) received non-recurrent funding to support the uptake of highly usable and accessible digital tools in practices. This funding is not separately available in 2025/26. ICBs are expected to continue funding digital tools for general practices from their core allocations, and to prioritise as necessary within those allocations, as part of delivering Government and planning priorities on general practice access, and to support the move from analogue to digital.
