Anyone who has seen my tweets knows my wife’s partners sadly handed back their contract in Dec 22 as the ICB decided to cut atypical local funding. They were already on the lower earning spectrum for GP’s . On reflection the ICB probably did them a favour

Since then we have had the 23/24 and 24/25 contract “uplift” . And the local area cut other payments as well. Adding that all up they would now be £40-50k down because costs will have outstripped income uplifts. Even without the atypical cut that would have been unstainable

With it you were looking at £115k-£125k. They would have had to lay off staff / close Hawkshead and even then they’d still have had a big pay cut as partners get paid what’s left once all the bills are paid

I know of other small rural practices who are struggling . The
@nwlmcs
report this week highlighted the most practices in Morecambe bay were struggling - at least one on the brink. That was before yesterdays 1.9% offering

In the hospital sector we have staff striking - their demand is to move back on a path for parity in real terms for their pay. GP partners in the last few years have seen pay actually reduce … let alone take into account any inflation

I suspect it’s similar in the community pharmacy sector as well which has had significant cuts. This is incredibly concerning especially in areas not served by other services. We will only lose this once - it happened with dentist’s who have not returned to NHS work

The government talk about tax cuts pre an election . They need to actually pay for the services we have now properly. It’s fools gold to have 2p on your income tax but then have costly private healthcare . This needs to change - now

@medicaccountant
Can you find out what payments, contingencies or inducements were offered to those who took over, if any?
