Question
To ask the Scottish Government how many GP practices in each NHS board have used the Golden Hello scheme, and how much funding has it provided under this scheme since it was introduced.
Answer
The Scottish Government does not hold this information: Health Boards are responsible for making Golden Hello payments to eligible GPs.
Health Boards make these payments from their shares of the wider Primary Medical Services allocation which covers all payments to GP contractors.
