The Scottish Government cannot mandate that a proportion of GP surgeries offer enhanced services: GP practices are contracted to provide essential services with any enhanced services provided over and above that carried out on an optional basis. Practices which provide enhanced services are paid agreed rates for doing so in addition to their funding for essential services. These services are determined locally by Health Boards so that service planning reflects local needs and circumstances and makes the best use of GPs and other clinicians.

The Scottish Government does not intend to change this model.

The Scottish Government is currently reviewing Health Board expenditure on drug treatment enhanced services by GPs to determine whether the existing funding arrangements for enhanced services are sufficiently prioritising drug treatment services.
