Meeting of the Parliament 25 September 2025
In August, I announced initial additional investment of £15 million in general practice. GP practices in Grampian will receive £1.5 million of that funding, which builds on the increased investment of more than £100 million that we have already made in general practice over the past two years.
We have been listening carefully to the views of GPs, and the new investment will help to ease financial pressures, support workforce retention and recruitment, build service capacity and support the day-to-day running of GP services in Grampian and across Scotland.
We remain in discussions with the sector on the provision of further support in the future, but the initial instalment demonstrates the Government’s commitment to making it easier for people to see their GP and to ensuring that more NHS funding goes into primary and community care.
