NHS England has set out a multi-billion plan designed to get general practice back on its feet, improve patient care and access, and invest in new ways of providing primary care.
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said:
"This plan represents a significant step forward for General Practice, supporting GPs' wellbeing and helping us to retain a healthy workforce well into the future.
"It is entirely right that a growing proportion of the extra money the Government announced for the NHS in the Spending Review should go to primary care, so that we can reduce the pressure on GPs and ensure that patients get the most effective and personal care from the people most qualified to help them.”
