A support scheme for family doctors in Scotland, introduced six years ago, has been suspended, risking the future of dozens of practices. A survey by BMA Scotland found that 30 practices are in a precarious position, with six considering returning their contracts to the health board. The GP sustainability loan scheme, a critical component of the 2018 GP contract, has been halted by the Scottish government. This move has raised concerns about the financial stability of practices and their ability to continue providing care. The impact of the suspension on the overall healthcare system in Scotland remains uncertain.
