Recommendation 7
7
Paragraph: 46
Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme lacks funding for supervision and high-need areas.
Conclusion
We welcome the progress made in recruiting additional professionals to general practice and recognise the potential they have to improve the range of services on offer in general practice and to ensure patients are able to see the right professional at the right time. We are also pleased the Government has committed to increasing the flexibility of staff recruited under the Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme. However, we are concerned about some gaps within the scheme, particularly the lack of funding for supervision and the absence of any uplift for areas of high need. At present it appears that some staff are not regularly being effectively integrated into general practice and do not receive adequate supervision.
