NHS England to launch £30 million contract inviting 500 GPs from EU to UK
NHS England are to launch a contract framework worth £30 million that will ask companies to help recruit 500 GPs from the EU.
In an effort to recruit 5,000 extra GPs by 2020, as promised in the GP Forward View, companies are being invited to bid to join the framework.
The contract will start in September 2017 and end in 2020, and is thought to cost £30 million, even though NHS England had previously said it would cos £20 million.
This is despite health secretary Jeremy Hunt’s earlier pledge to make the NHS ‘self sufficient’ in doctors by increasing the number of trainees in the UK.
The GPs have been guaranteed an annual salary of £90,000 to move to England to work.
