The Targeted Enhanced Recruitment Scheme is a national incentive scheme which funds a £20,000 salary supplement to attract general practitioner (GP) trainees to work in areas of the country where GP training places have been unfilled for a number of years. 238 trainees entered the scheme in 2016 and 2017. 265 places were made available in 2018 and a further 276 are available for 2019.<\/p>
<\/p>
In 2018, there were 33 places available on the scheme in Durham and North Yorkshire and in 2019, a further 33 places have been made available in Rural and Coastal Durham and North Yorkshire. These figures are not available broken down by constituency. No estimate has been made for the number of GPs due to retire in the next five years in the Easington constituency as there is not a mandatory retirement age for GPs.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4067", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Steve Brine"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Winchester"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Steve Brine"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-12-13", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : {"_value" : "200602"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-12-13T16:18:11.327Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-12-10", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "General Practitioners: Easington"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will introduce an incentive scheme to attract GPs to Easington constituency.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3973", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Grahame Morris"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Easington"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Grahame Morris"} ], "uin" : "200600"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1022830", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1022830/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
There are currently no plans to assess the potential merits of introducing a general practitioner (GP) university tuition fee remission scheme.<\/p>
<\/p>
NHS England and Health Education England (HEE) are working together with the profession to increase the GP workforce. This includes measures to boost recruitment, address the reasons why GPs are leaving the profession, and encourage GPs to return to practice.<\/p>
<\/p>
To encourage GPs to work in areas of the country identified as hard to recruit, NHS England and Health Education England have funded the Targeted Enhanced Recruitment Scheme. The scheme funds a £20,000 salary supplement for GP trainees who commit to spending their three years of speciality training in areas of the country where GP training places have been unfilled for a number of years. There were 122 places in 2016, 144 in 2017 and 265 in 2018. In 2019 a further 276 places are being made available.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The independent General Practice Partnership Review, led by Dr Nigel Watson, which is due to report in early 2019, has given consideration to how to ensure general practice and the partnership model remain attractive for early-career GPs, including the provision of incentives such as additional development opportunities and support for this group.<\/p>
