<p>Each Primary Care Network (PCN) is required to appoint a Clinical Director. 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>
