A senior NHS England official has told Pulse practices could close as a result of ongoing GP funding redistribution such as the withdrawal of the minimum price income guarantee.
In an exclusive interview with Pulse, Dr David Geddes, who is head of primary care commissioning and a GP in York, said that support provided by NHS England to MPIG-affected practices did not necessarily relate to financial support and said he wasn’t expecting ‘cheque books to come out and just create another small MPIG’.
Dr Geddes also said that he expected practices to ‘merge’ or ‘move’ as a result of the changes to MPIG.
