Primary Care Networks (PCNs) continue to operate under the Network Contract Directed Enhanced Service (DES). Now in its seventh year, the current 2025/26 specification reinforces the goal of delivering proactive, personalised, and integrated health and social care, aligned with the NHS Long Term Plan.
A major component of PCN funding remains the Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme (ARRS), which has expanded significantly to address workforce shortages and improve patient access. For more information please click here for the Network Contract DES – Contract Specification 2025/26.
If you have any questions regarding ARRS, please contact the ICB PCN Team via email at glicb.pcn@nhs.net
