Petition Say No to the new GP Contract
More details
The proposed changes to the GP Contract will de-stabilise GP finances to the point that most will no longer be economically viable and will have to close.
This is the Government's intent so that GP patients will be forced to join large 'super' surgeries often miles from their home, run by private providers. Most of their care will be nurse led with a few salaried GPs to care for 'complex' cases only.
Those wanting traditional General Practice, the true strength of the NHS, will have to go private.
