OFNC UPDATE: COVID-19 FUNDING FOR OPTICAL PRACTICES IN ENGLAND
20 July 2020
The OFNC is still working with NHS England on potential further COVID-19 funding for optical
practices, following the end of the first phase of funding on 30 June. It has now been agreed that
while these negotiations continue, the previous level of COVID-19 funding for GOS contractors in
England will continue for a further month until 31 July. This will mean average GOS payments for this
period being made in August in the usual way.
In the meantime we are pressing NHS England to take steps to ensure that practices in relatively
deprived areas that largely provide NHS care, and domiciliary providers that continue to face
difficulty in reaching vulnerable patients, can survive and continue to provide NHS eye care in the
recovery phase of the pandemic.
We are also exploring the cost implications for all practices of ongoing infection control measures
including PPE, and the need to be ready for potential second phase or local lockdowns.
We hope that we will be in a position to make a statement about these issues soon. We will share
more information on the outcome of our ongoing discussions with NHS England as soon as we can.
