Capita is meant to administer training grants for trainee GPs through Primary Care Services England, as part of the contract it was awarded in 2015 to carry out a range of functions by NHS England. “Our GP trainees are the future of the NHS. Capita said it was chasing details of trainee GPs in parts of Wessex and for some practices in Thames Valley and Humber and that salaries would be reimbursed immediately as soon as it was received. We can’t reimburse any money when we don’t have any information on who we need to reimburse that money to. An NHS England spokesperson said: “We are holding Capita’s ‘feet to the fire’ on needed improvements, and in the meantime, the lead employer for Health Education England or the GP practice are responsible for paying their GP trainee salaries and are subsequently reimbursed for this.
