	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/12/2023 answer text <p>The General Practice Improvement Programme (GPIP) was introduced as part of the Delivery Plan for Recovering Access to Primary Care, published in May 2023. It provides tailored support for practices and primary care networks (PCNs) to make changes and improvements to how they work. It focuses on helping general practice teams to get patients to the right care from the right person at the right time; improving equity, safety and continuity; and reducing pressure on the workforce. <br> <br> As of 7 December, more than 1,200 practices have benefited from the programme. Registration is currently open for a further two cohorts of support for practices.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 20/12/2023 16:37:33 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom previous answer version 8842 answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/12/2023 answer text <p>No data is collected on prescription-only medicines supplied privately for these conditions by community pharmacists. There are a small number of local National Health Service schemes that allow for the supply by community pharmacists of prescription-only medicines for some of these conditions, but data is not collected centrally. From early next year, the Pharmacy First service, enabling all community pharmacists to supply prescription-only medicines for the seven common conditions listed, will be nationally commissioned by the NHS. Community pharmacies have been able to register to deliver the service since 1 December and more than half have already done so.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 20/12/2023 16:43:19 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom previous answer version 8843 answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/02/2024 answer text <p>We have set an expectation that where clinically appropriate, patients should receive an appointment within two weeks of requesting one, or on the same day if their need is urgent. The general practice contract requires practices to offer patients an assessment of need, or signpost them to an appropriate service, on the day they contact the practice, so that patients are not asked to call back another day.</p><p>We are committed to making it quicker and easier for people to get the help they need from primary care. That is why we published our Primary Care Recovery Plan. We are providing £240 million of funding, an average of £60,000 per practice, so that practices can transition to digital telephone systems and consultation tools which will help patients to get support more quickly.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 29/02/2024 11:24:52 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom
