NHS England and NHS Improvement and Health Education England are working with the profession to increase the general practitioner (GP) workforce in England. This includes measures on recruitment, to address the reasons why doctors leave the profession and encourage them to return to practice.
The updated GP Contract Framework for 2020/21 announced a number of new retention schemes alongside continued support for existing schemes. These schemes include the GP Retention Scheme, the International Induction Programme, the Return to Practice Programme, the Fellowship Programme, the New to Partnership Payment and Supporting Mentors Scheme. Last year, 3,793 doctors started GP training and we are committed to increasing the number of training places available to 4,000 a year.

The General Medical Service contract sets out that where a general practitioner (GP) practice provides maternity medical services, the practice is required to provide to female patients and their babies all necessary maternity medical services throughout the postnatal period other than neonatal checks. The GP contract regulations define the postnatal period as “the period beginning with the conclusion of the delivery of the baby or the patient’s discharge from secondary care services (whichever is the later) and ending on the fourteenth day after the birth”.
Any changes to GP contracting arrangements to specifically include a six week postnatal check-up would need to be negotiated with the General Practitioners’ Committee of the British Medical Association as part of the annual contract negotiations.

As my constituency borders the city of Brighton, some of the problems the hon. Lady recounts are similar to those in mine. I spent a lot of time with my GPs recently, sitting in GP surgeries. Does she acknowledge that part of the problem is the shortage of GPs being...

The hon. Lady makes a very good point. I, too, mentioned locums. Are not the pressures on and requirements of partnered GPs deterring many people? That is why it is easier for Worthing hospital to recruit doctors; it is looking to take on directly salaried GPs to place in the...

I am grateful to the shadow Chief Secretary, because I have sat quietly and listened to 16 minutes of his speech trashing the NHS. Will he take the opportunity to

The hon. Lady is right to say that she was one of the first to face an acute services review, but does she agree that it was because of the privilege of her position as a Labour MP and her relationship with the Secretary of State that, to save her...

I congratulate the hon. Member for Truro and St. Austell (Matthew Taylor) on this debate, which has certainly warmed up, although I fear that Westminster Hall has not mirrored that. We will struggle through the last half an hour of the debate in this chilly Chamber. The hon. Gentleman and...

I will not, because the hon. Lady went over her time and I have only one minute left. I want the Minister to have her fair share of time at the end. Too many decisions are being made by health bureaucrats behind closed doors, and that is increasing people’s suspicions...
