Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty's Government when they anticipate to return to funding general practice to 11 per cent of the total NHS budget.
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.
