The funding will help create additional space for over 1,000 GP surgeries.

Health and social care secretary, Wes Streeting, said: ‘It will be a long road, but this Government is putting in the work to fix our NHS and make it fit for the future.

‘These are simple fixes for our GP surgeries but for too long they were left to ruin, allowing waiting lists to build and stopping doctors treating more patients.

‘It is only because of the necessary decisions we took in the Budget that we are able to invest in GP surgeries, start tackling the 8am scramble and deliver better services for patients. The extra investment and reform this Government is making, as part of its Plan for Change, will transform our NHS so it can once again be there for you when you need it.'

The investment marks the first national capital fund for primary care estates since 2020 and is part of a package of GP support, alongside recruiting 1,500 additional GPs and reducing bureaucracy.

Projects will be delivered during the 2025-26 financial year, with the first upgrades expected to begin in summer 2025.

Hayley Smith, strategy and transformation director at the Darwin Group said: ‘We welcome the Government's announcement of £102m to improve GP practice buildings across England—an important and long-overdue recognition of the vital role that general practice and its estates play in the quality of patient care.

‘GPs are facing unprecedented pressures, including rising patient demand, ageing premises, and a lack of space to support multidisciplinary teams. Nearly two in five practices report that their buildings are no longer fit for purpose. If this funding is to deliver real impact—quickly and effectively—for both patients and GPs, we must look beyond traditional construction methods.

‘Modern modular building solutions can deliver safe, high-quality, and cost-effective facilities at speed—ensuring that patients and healthcare professionals benefit from improved environments much sooner than conventional construction timelines would allow.

‘This funding is a welcome interim measure—but meaningful transformation will require sustained, long-term capital investment in primary care infrastructure. If the Government is serious about shifting care into the community, GPs must be equipped with the right spaces to work safely and efficiently. Modular estates offer a proven, scalable pathway to achieving that goal.'
