Due to maladministration by Capita, more than half of GPs in England are missing vital information about their pensions, making planning their workloads impossible and having a negative impact on their mental and emotional wellbeing. tinyurl.com/mrnxbcbu

1/ NEW: Consultation response out & confirmaiton of rates 1st April '24 , dropping the 13.5% tier.
Grateful government listened to concerns about feezing the top tier so tiers WILL uplift with CPI, not creating (another) "fiscal drag" for higher earners

This morning on @bbcr4today the Health Secretary @SteveBarclay said Consultants get a "tax-free pension of £73,000 a year" when they retire.
This is categorically not true, and we expect him to issue an urgent correction. Here's why 🧵 (1/5)

The Government is hoping Consultants will back down.
We won’t.

1/ Thanks @wesstreeting on @LBC @ShelaghFogarty
Who knows, maybe an olive branch that @BMA_Pensions "makes reasonable points"!?
I agree its "completely bonkers when weve got a shortage" that [older doctors] "face a financial penalty for staying".. but the problem is *so* much

The Observer presents a sobering report from the frontline of general practice.
We urgently need a plan from Government to meet the growing GP shortfall (1808 fewer in England now than in 2015) and to prevent a further exodus due to stress and burnout

Warmest congratulations @RishiSunak! As you become UK PM, I look forward to working closely together on global issues, and implementing Roadmap 2030. Special Diwali wishes to the 'living bridge' of UK Indians, as we transform our historic ties into a modern partnership.

It’s sobering to see the no-expenses-spared approach in the executive suites @NHSBartsHealth.
Meanwhile, executives cap locum rates, let doctors’ messes fall into disrepair, and claim that taking coffee on the wards is stealing patients’ supplies. tiktok.com/@bartshealthnhs/v…

Read the letter from @DrPhilBanfield and @ERunswickBMA to @RCPhysicians expressing the BMA’s serious concerns about Dr Sarah Clarke’s recent comments regarding doctors and other healthcare workers taking action to protect their working conditions.

Hi @KwasiKwarteng we watched today’s announcement by @ThereseCoffey but it does little to fulfil the PM’s promise to fix pension taxation issues for doctors. Can we assume the necessary steps will be announced tomorrow instead by you?
