Verbatim
“We know there's a push for a neighbourhood health service, we know there's been no additional monies identified for this. One of the threats with this is that the PCN monies could have been redirected and taken away from practices to fulfil neighbourhood wraparound services. That's why it is really key that the money has been moved and shifted directly to practices.”
“There could be threats to the partnership model and funding flows, destabilising well-established care for patients within their communities.”
“There really does need to be an honest conversation about what will be happening and the ramifications and who will be there to either plug those gaps or pick up the pieces.”
“was about safety and sustainability, ensuring safe workloads, protecting GP autonomy, maintaining continuity of care, supporting the partnership model, the restoration of trust, rebuilding professional trust and recognition of GPs as the foundation of community and wider health systems”
“We have set out our objection to the unilateral decision to change the annual GP contract consultation and negotiation process for 2026/27, breaking with established custom and practice”
“build on our historical contract asks around the need to restore resourcing levels for general practice”
“Any attempts to introduce any form of AI will have to be vigorously tested beforehand”
“while GPs will be in dispute, practices must still comply with the new requirements to avoid remedial or breach notices from Integrated Care Boards (ICBs).”
