The Doctors\u2019 Association UK (DAUK) has renewed its call for ARRS money to be moved into core general practice funding.\r\n\r\nDr Steve Taylor, DAUK\u2019s GP co-lead, said it would be a \u2018huge step forward\u2019 for patient access.\r\n\r\nDAUK has long argued that additional role reimbursement scheme (ARRS) funding would be better used in core GP funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We have called for ARRS restrictions to be lifted, arguing the scheme fails to meet the needs of practices, and of under and unemployed GPs.\r\n\r\nDr Taylor has again made the case for ARRS funding to go into core general practice funding in an interview with GP Online<\/a>.\r\n\r\n\u201c(It) would be a huge step forward to enabling practices to improve access for patients,’ he said.\r\n\r\nDr Taylor also spoke about GPs being \u2018concerned and unhappy\u2019 with the 10-year health plan and warned the Government was \u2018risking patient care\u2019 by ignoring the concerns of GPs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Read Dr Taylor\u2019s interview with GP Online<\/a>.\r\n\r\nIn a separate article on GP Online, Dr Taylor discussed the wide variation in GP partner income across England.\r\n\r\nHe said a factor \u2018could be differences in opportunities for practices to earn additional income\u2019.\r\n\r\nRead the GP Online article on GP income variation across England<\/a>.\r\n\r\nPlease support our work by joining DAUK<\/a> or donating to our GoFundMe<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Doctors\u2019 Association UK (DAUK) has renewed its call for ARRS money to be moved into core general practice funding.
