GP leaders vote down proposal for struggling practices to go private

[Northerner]

GP leaders from across England have voted down a proposal for struggling practices to be supported by the BMA to go private.

The motion, debated at today's England LMCs Conference, said that 'given that a number of GPs feel that they can no longer operate within the NHS' the conference 'calls on GPC England to urgently look at how these GPs can be supported to operate within a private, alternative model'.

Delegates discussing the motion said there had to be an 'honest debate' about models amid Government and CCG underfunding of general practice.

This is part of the ultimate plan to fully privatise the NHS. Drive people out of the NHS with overwork and cutbacks, and job done. Roll on a left of centre government, rather than a government run by and for big business.
