The Department of Health has announced a second wave of 27 hospital trusts to receive cash to set up A&E GP ‘streaming’ services by the end of the year.
The latest list brings the total amount of allocated funding up to £77m, after it was announced that 70 trusts were to receive £56m of the £100m fund – meaning the DH has yet to allocate £24m. It had initially said up to 100 hospitals would benefit.
In a statement the DH has said the funding will allow hospitals ‘to build GP practices within their A&E units’ to see patients with less urgent needs.
But Pulse revealed that nearly 420 extra GPs will be needed to staff the service, based on the model floated by health secretary Jeremy Hunt at Luton and Dunstable University Hospital.
The £100m fund was first announced in the Spring Budget in March, and NHS England chief executive Simon Stevens subsequently said that patients will be able to see a GP in ‘every A&E’ by Christmas.
