Practices have voted in favour of co-ordinated list closure action in an indicative ballot by the BMA.
GP leaders called on the government to take urgent action to address the crisis in the service after practices voted in favour of action.
Practices were asked to say whether they would be prepared collectively to temporarily suspend new patient registrations and/or apply to their commissioner for a formal list closure, as a form of industrial action.
The decision to ballot the profession was agreed by LMC representatives at their annual conference in Edinburgh in May in response to the failure of NHS England’s GP Forward View to deliver resources to sustain the service.
