More than 1,000 GPs to get share of £102m to expand surgeries

The UK Government committed around £102 million on May 6, 2025, to expand over 1,000 GP surgeries across England to improve patient access.
This funding follows necessary budget decisions aimed at tackling GP service issues caused by outdated buildings and rising patient waiting lists.
The investment will modernize premises, create extra clinical space, and enable an estimated 8.3 million additional yearly appointments under Labour's ten-year health plan.
Health Secretary Wes Streeting acknowledged that improving the service will take considerable time, but affirmed that the Government is actively working to make those changes.
The upgrades are expected to start in summer 2025, aiming to improve patient experience, support staff recruitment, and make primary care more community-focused.
