Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent assessment his Department has made of the adequacy of the condition of the general practice estate; and what additional investment his Department intends to make in the general practice estate.
NHS England has undertaken an exercise to gather information on the primary care estate which provides a thorough understanding of the age, condition, quality, utilisation, and ownership of the estate, allowing us to estimate and calculate the requirement for investment.
NHS England remains committed to continuing to invest in capital estates both nationally and locally through integrated care boards, to improve capacity and environments for general practitioners and their patients.
