maybe come and speak to some GPs so we can actually explain how partnerships work, and also dispel some of the misguided statements in this article. Be very careful what you wish for if you wish to get rid of GP partnerships .

There is nothing concrete from Labour to help NHS overcome its challenges. It is most populist Boris Johnson type stuff.
Sadly it will impact the most vulnerable Labour aspire to Champions

I'd get rid of partnerships in a heart beat.
Many work incredibly hard.
But the gms contract doesn't allow commissioners to get minimum standards and activity from those who don't.

I’m not a Labour voter and I don’t have a stake in this (other than as a UK resident) but what are the answers? It’s the same every time we have a healthcare crisis: nothing works, no change will work, we’re right, you’re wrong.
Has anyone got any clue what we should do?

Wes Streeting has literally no idea what he's doing and a career politician like him with no actual beliefs or convictions should not be allowed anywhere near important decisions

Not sure if GPs at the start of their careers want to become partners. Locks them in when some want to work part time or have a portfolio of roles. Which must make long standing partners wonder how they are going to cash out their share of the practice that they bought into.
