Under the terms of the Network Contract Directed Enhanced Service (DES) contract specification published by NHS England in March 2019, PCNs can claim funding for this role. It is a population-based payment calculated using a baseline equivalent of 0.25 Whole Time Equivalent (WTE) per 50,000 registered population size, as at 1 January 2019 (one WTE being paid £137,516 in 2019/20). This is a payment of £0.51430 per registered patient for the period 1 July 2019 to 31 March 2020 (which equates to £0.057 per patient per month), reflecting the fact that the Network Contract DES begins in July 2019 - this will be the point at which the Clinical Directors take up their posts.</p> answering member constituency South Ribble answering member printed Seema Kennedy question first answered 16/05/2019 15:49:49 answering member 4455 label Biography information for Seema Kennedy
