General Practitioners: Nursing Associates

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government how many general practice surgeries in England and Wales currently employ nursing associates.

Answer

NHS England does not hold this information centrally. Nursing associates are one of a number of roles through which Primary Care Networks (PCNs) can claim reimbursement for salaries, and some on costs, through the Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme. These roles provide appointments and perform clinical and administrative tasks as part of the wider general practice multi-disciplinary team. Staff recruited under the scheme are employed at a PCN level.
