Question
To ask the Scottish Government how many GP premises formerly owned or leased by GP contractors have been acquired by NHS boards in each year since 2017, when the National Code of Practice for GP premises was published, also broken down by the number of acquisitions by (a) lease and (b) ownership.
Answer
The Scottish Government does not hold this data. NHS Boards have been responsible for implementing the National Code of Practice for GP premises since it came into effect in 2018 when the new GP contract was agreed.
