This was why my wife’s practice handed back her contract when the ICB removed local funding . The funding per patient meant it was insufficient to cover the costs of running the service once you’d taken into account another years wage rises without funding
I work as a full time GP caring for 1500 patients
It's very busy as we're in a deprived area with a large elderly skew
Global sum payment last month didn't cover the bills & wages, so I couldn't take a salary
Before anyone signs up to become a GP, think again, it's unsustainable

Andy. To lay people (me) “handing back a GP contract” means nothing. Is there a simple explanation?

Noted … the problem with explaining it is that you need to then explain the whole GP contract model which is when lay people say “but that’s bad !”
