Recommendation 26
26
Paragraph: 96
Additional funding required for continuity leads and administrative staff in Primary Care Networks.
Conclusion
NHS England should provide Primary Care Networks with additional funding to appoint a ‘continuity lead’ for at least one session per week, and additional admin staff funding to support the lead in the role. The role of the continuity lead GP would be to support practices within their network to increase the proportion of patients consulting with their named or regular GP, learning from best practice around the country. There should be a specific uplift for areas of high deprivation.
