Verbatim
“Moving ARRS funding is cost neutral for the government. It can be done straight away and topped up with a DDRB uplift”
“It's a no-brainer we should return to collective action, because the government is changing the GMS model and heading to a salaried model with the ARRS GPs.”
“My worry is they have already done the work and haven't involved us so far - actions speak louder than words.”
“GPs should be at the core of the neighbourhood model and making the decisions - otherwise it's bound to fail.”
“I don't think things are more positive just because they have some confirmation that they can remain after five years. Currently, NHS England gives them a [four-month] grace period to find a visa sponsored job after training, but the job situation is not good at all for GP colleagues.”
