Partially accept. The Department partially accepts this recommendation. The Government confirms there is currently no policy to abolish the partnership model, which is the majority model for general practice delivery and works well in many places. We have already invested in growing general practice through the 2019 Five Year Framework contract, the Additional Role Reimbursement Scheme, New to Partnership Payments, and an associated rise in funding. We have responded to the committee’s specific recommendations on GP premises and ability to form limited liability partnerships below. We note the reference to other models of primary care provision, and agree that different localities have varying needs and challenges to address. In response to these, practices can and do choose to organise themselves in different ways to deliver services and we wish to support a range of models of primary care provision, including the partnership model. Commissioners can also choose to commission these providers in different ways to meet the specific needs of their populations.
