NHS England does not hold this information centrally. Nursing associates are one of a number of roles through which Primary Care Networks (PCNs) can claim reimbursement for salaries, and some on costs, through the Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme. These roles provide appointments and perform clinical and administrative tasks as part of the wider general practice multi-disciplinary team. Staff recruited under the scheme are employed at a PCN level.
