Practices in large student populations have warned they are considering closing their lists, because recent cuts to MPIG and changes to QOF mean it is ‘not affordable’ to treat young adult populations.
The Student Health Association (SHA) – which represents university practices and GPs with large student populations – has said ‘there is a real risk of practices going under’ unless changes are made to the practice funding formula, in a letter to health secretary Jeremy Hunt and shadow health secretary Andy Burnham.
GPs practising on university campuses have warned that students might be forced to use A&E, as neighbouring practices will be unwilling to take them on if they were to close lists.
