GP spend share at lowest point in a decade ift.tt/SDzVQq5

GP spend share at lowest point in a decade

The proportion of the NHS budget spent on general practice has fallen to its lowest point in at least 10 years, according to figures newly released by government.

Watch a bank holiday land on a GP practice. 1,346 tasks. 65 seconds. 1 second = 10 real minutes. The first hour is *insane*. You'll miss us when we are gone. @Parody_RCGP

In 1 week, it will be national policy to bounce 1/4 of GP referrals.

This should worry every GP. Hospital-led GP contracts = loss of independence, loss of voice, loss of the partnership model. This isn’t integration it’s absorption.

Has it ever occurred to you both that the reason we are more likely to be referred could be due to racism at the GMC? That you have both discounted the loyal service many of us have given to the #NHS ? Both Labour & Tories have plundered other nations to recruit doctors & nurses

🧵 GPs are asking straight forward questions about the change on Advice & Guidance to a single point of access system. I have asked the Goverment about: ▶️ clinical responsibility ▶️ evidence base ▶️ where patients are recorded on waiting lists To name a few No answers 👇 1/6

General practice is vital to a healthy NHS. Yet, it is on the verge of total collapse. Our new report shows why GPs – and the vital role they play in our health system – must be valued. Read more 👉bma.org.uk/valueofagp #endGPunemployment

Great chart below/right from @TheIFS about ridiculous tax cliff at £100k cuasing *obscene* marginal tax rates. But you can draw a very similar chart (left) for higher earning doctors affected by the stupid & ill-conceived #taper which is **really damaging** waiting list recovery @wesstreeting @RachelReevesMP Doctors want to help with waiting lists, but they cannot #PayToWork RT if you want government to finally #ScrapTheTaper
Renaud Foucart@RenaudFoucart21 Mar 2025
Economists: people don't understand marginal tax. If your tax rate increases above £100,000, you don't suddenly lose money when you earn £100,001 UK tax system: hold my beer

Example 101 of NHS Referral forms being a way of restricting care to patients. Would a consultant to consultant referral be blocked for this? Why are GP referrals being blocked? (We don't use referral forms unless helpful ala collective action)

Our recent survey revealed 1 in 5 GPs in England plan to change their career because they can’t find work - write to your MP and urge them to support changes that will allow more GPs to work in the NHS. ✍️Write to your MP now by using our tool activism.bma.org.uk/page/166…

Collective action will now be aimed at ICBs rather than the Government, with GP leaders advising practices to continue at a local level despite the new contract deal. buff.ly/DBsrXAS #GPcontract #GPcollectiveaction #NHSdisputes #NHSEngland

If grassroots GPs are telling @doctor_katie "this is going to break us", the time for collective action in general practice is surely NOW. Make sure you are involved to protect your practice, your staff and your patients. bma.org.uk/our-campaigns/gp-…

GP funding per patient less than annual hamster insurance, LMCs warn

GPs will hit out over underfunding of general practice at the Northern Ireland LMCs conference this month - demanding that GMS contract funding should rise to more than the price of annual insurance...

Fascinating. NHSE have assessed worst case scenario of GP Collective Action. Stopping non-contractual work could cost the NHS £570m in the first 4 months. Extrapolated - @NHSEngland have just admitted General Practice is doing £1.7billion of non-contractual work every year
