LMC leaders are considering a ?just say no? campaign to support practices who refuse to take-on unfunded work, and have already drafted a letter to help them turn down patient requests for support when appealing against their benefits being withdrawn.
The campaign would be designed to back GPs who turn down requests for medical reports from benefit claimants and requests for work from secondary care.
The LMC leaders from Lancashire and Cumbria have already come together to create a template letter for all GP practices to use in the area advising patients against personally asking for help from their GP.
