<p>Each Primary Care Network (PCN) is required to appoint a Clinical Director who
will take up their post formally from July 2019. Under the terms of the Network Contract
Directed Enhanced Service (DES), PCNs can claim a funding contribution for this role.
In 2019/20 this is a payment of £0.51430 per registered patient for the period 1 July
2019 to 31 March 2020.</p><p>Practices will receive funding for participating in a
PCN through the Network Participation Payment of £0.147 per weighted patient for the
period from 1 April 2019. This becomes payable once they have signed up to the Network
Contract DES and the DES commences, from 1 July 2019. In addition, once established,
PCNs are entitled to funding of £0.125 per patient per month from clinical commissioning
group (CCG) allocations, the first payment of which will cover the period 1 April
to 31 July.</p><p>Collectively, these funding streams and others mean PCNs receive
£296 million in 2019/20. The Network Participation Payment and the clinical commissioning
group PCN funding together reflect the additional work undertaken, including between
1 April and 30 June, to establish PCNs and appoint Clinical Directors.</p><p> </p><p><strong>
