Hunt rejects DDRB recommendations and gives practices 1.32% funding uplift from April

[Northerner]

GP practices are facing a real terms cut in pay this year, after the Department of Health rejected a recommendation from the doctors? pay review body for a 2.29% pay rise to cover expenses and said practices would only receive a 1.32% uplift in funding from April.

The offer is less than the Government?s initial offer last year of 1.5%, and falls far short of the recommended 2.29% rise for GMS practices in England from the DDRB in its report to the Government.
