answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/05/2025 answer text <p>On Tuesday 6 May, we announced which primary care schemes are in line to receive funding from the £102 million Primary Care Utilisation and Modernisation Fund. Further information is available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/primary-care-utilisation-and-modernisation-fund-2025-to-2026" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/primary-care-utilisation-and-modernisation-fund-2025-to-2026</a></p><p>The fund will deliver upgrades to more than a thousand general practice surgeries across England, which will improve the use of existing buildings and spaces, enabling improved productivity, with practices able to deliver an estimated eight million more patient appointments each year.</p><p>We have made sure that every single region across the country receives part of the funding, so benefits are felt nationwide. Decisions were made based on the highest priority of need and where the investment would quickly create additional clinical space, specifically to deliver more appointments. Tolsey surgery in Sherston did not meet these criteria as strongly as other schemes within the integrated care board’s area, and it has therefore not been selected for this year’s funding.</p> answering member constituency Aberafan Maesteg answering member printed Stephen Kinnock question first answered 08/05/2025 09:28:03 answering member 4359 label Biography information for Stephen Kinnock
