Summary
A five-year framework for GP contract reform to implement The NHS Long Term Plan published in January 2019 describes significant investment in Primary Care Networks (PCNs) through the Network Contract Directed Enhanced Service (DES). As part of the Network Contract DES, investment is being made to support the expansion of the primary care workforce and the implementation of seven national Network Service Requirements between 2019-20 and 2023-24 through the Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme (ARRS).
The fifth year of the Network Contract DES began in April 2023. The data being collected expands on the indicators developed in 2019-20, 2020-21, 2021-22 and 2022-23 around the ARRS with thirteen service specifications, covering:
- Access
- Anticipatory care
- Cancer
- Cardiovascular disease prevention
- Early cancer diagnosis
- Enhanced health in care homes
- Environmental sustainability
- Personalised care
- Respiratory care
- Structured medication reviews and medicines optimisation
- Tackling health inequalities
- Vaccination and immunisation
- Workforce
The data is collected via the General Practice Extraction Service (GPES) monthly and will be published on a monthly basis at GP Practice level.
NOTE: .csv files may not open in applications such as Microsoft Excel due to the number of rows included in the dataset. Users may wish to import the file directly into a database, or alternatively use a text editor to split the file for import/use in applications such as Microsoft Excel.
