The impact assessment considered this issue, and sets out the Government’s assessment that, while price regulation schemes such as VPAS may be a consideration in the decision to locate such investments, these are complex decisions based on multiple factors.

However, VPAS includes strong commercial incentives to launch new products in the form of freedom of list pricing and exemptions from payments for innovative medicines containing a new active substance.</del></p><p><ins class="ministerial"> <p><ins class="ministerial">The information requested is publicly available and can be accessed here: </ins></p><p><ins class="ministerial">https://digital.nhs.uk/data-and-information/publications/statistical/general-and-personal-medical-services/31-december-2022.</ins></p><p> </p><p><ins class="ministerial">Notes</ins></p><p> </p><p><ins class="ministerial">· Data includes estimates for practices that did not provide fully valid staff records.</ins></p><p><ins class="ministerial">· In December 2022, 2.1% of fully qualified GP FTE was estimated where practices had not provided fully valid staff records.</ins></p><p><ins class="ministerial">· Before July 2021, data was only available quarterly for the following months: March, June, September and December.</ins></p><p><ins class="ministerial">· Full-time equivalent (FTE) refers to the proportion of full time contracted hours that the post holder is contracted to work. 1 would indicate they work a full set of hours (37.5), 0.5 that they worked half time.</ins></p><p><ins class="ministerial">TARGET DATE 09/02/2023</ins></p><p><ins class="ministerial">· Figures shown do not include staff working in prisons, army bases, educational establishments, specialist care centres including drug rehabilitation centres, walk-in centres and other alternative settings outside of traditional general practice such as urgent treatment centres and minor injury units.</ins></p><p><ins class="ministerial">· Figures include GP partners, salaried GPs, GP retainers and GP regular locums.</ins></p></ins></p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 14/03/2023 17:35:51 question first ministerially corrected 15/03/2023 13:35:30 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince previous answer version 62066 answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince
