US EditionMore than 1,000 GPs to get share of £102m to expand surgeries
- Over 1,000 GP surgeries across England are set to receive £102 million from the government to upgrade and enlarge their facilities, with work beginning in summer 2025.
- This investment follows decisions made in the Budget and aims to fix long-standing issues of inadequate space that prevent doctors from seeing more patients.
- The upgrades will create additional consultation rooms, boost productivity, and support delivering high-quality care closer to patients' communities.
- Health Secretary Wes Streeting said this plan will result in 8.3 million more appointments annually and hopes patient access will be “wildly different” by the next general election.
- This funding marks the most substantial public commitment to upgrading GP premises in half a decade and signals progress toward modernizing NHS services to better address current healthcare needs.
