Network Contract DES Engagement on draft outline service specifications: summary report

This report summarises the feedback received from general practice and the wider health and care system on the draft outline Network contract DES service specifications. The feedback showed in-principle support for the aspirations of the individual services but there were also concerns which included the workforce implications and the investment general practice was being asked to make in new workforce roles; the level of resource available to support delivery; the level of specificity and length of the specifications and the aggregate effect of introducing all five services from April 2020.
