There is no target on the proportion of the National Health Service budget allocated for the funding of general practice. In 2019, we invested an additional £4.5 billion in primary medical and community care by 2023/24. In February 2020, we committed at least a further £1.5 billion until 2023/24 for the recruitment of additional staff in general practice.
