The BMA’s General Practitioners Committee for England has warned that many general practices face closure or staff redundancies unless the government improves its contractual offer. The proposed 1.9% increase in funding for general medical services is inadequate and will not prevent practices from reducing services or closing down. The committee expressed concerns that this offer will worsen patient access and threaten the stability of the profession. They urge the government to provide a more substantial and supportive offer to prevent the potential closure of many general practices.
