The Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme (ARRS) supports Primary Care Networks (PCNs) by providing funding for reimbursable roles.
The scheme has two key goals:
- to support the recruitment of 26,000 additional staff,
- and to reduce the health inequalities that arise due to workforce shortages in general practices.
