Changes to GP contracts
Health secretary Jeremy Hunt has launched a 12-week consultation on the government's proposed changes to the GP contract, despite failing to reach an agreement with the British Medical Association (BMA).
In this GPs are set to face a controversial new contract that will limit rewards for "bureaucratic tick-box exercises" and will require them to do more work for less money.
Jeremy Hunt states,
"Standards of care in this country must be world class – and we should continuously strive to improve. This is why the GP contract must change"
The government has said that these actions will directly benefit patients.
