SDF Funding

On reviewing the ICSs intentions to withhold part of the SDF funding (only 40% being released) it had been identified that the NHSE letter setting out the use of the funds indicated that this money was ring fenced for primary care and GP use https://www.england.nhs.uk/long-read/primary-care-service-development-funding-and-general-practice-it-funding-guidance-2024-25/

Dr Rob Barnett (Liverpool LMC) is leading on this for the five local LMCs and will raise this with both the ICS and NHSE national lead for Primary Care.
