Hi, Really surprised that there are some PCNs who are offering Sundays - can I just check is this as an alternative to Saturdays or in addition within the same funding envelope???

In a recently Ealing meeting, there was some concern raised about the expectation that we provide Sunday cover and Rachel Donovan (assistant head of primary care at NWL) advised that there is no requirement for PCNs to provide cover on sunday's. That said, the Local leads seem to waffle and they seem to be leaving their options open. Many are concerned that there is an expectation to provide 16 hours extra (over and above the National offer) with no added remuneration. The letter circulated clearly indicates that there is an added expectation 'this means that we have a higher starting point ...' We need to push back here as it is not feasible for PCNs to provide Sunday hours / additionally without remuneration. I must advise that in Ealing some PCNs have gone ahead and submitted plans to offer Sunday provision and therefore it seems that given that there is a strong focus on equity across PCNs and a clear indication that not every PCN will be permitted to have a hub, PCNs who have not submitted some mention of Sunday provision will eventually be coerced into providing some Sunday cover.
