Thanks @timfarron for highlighting this. The resource uplift for 24/25 has been set at 1.9% since this report was written. Many staff now employed are at minimum or close to min wage levels so that’s unlikey to cover the cost rise from wages alone. 3rd year running for this Tweet added by Andy Pow @medicaccountant

A shocking new report reveals that 10 GP practices in Cumbria and Lancashire are at risk of immediate closure, with a further 111 struggling financially due to soaring costs. I've written to the Health Secretary urging her to support our vital GP surgeries before it's too late.

@medicaccountant @timfarron Sadly it’s not just Cumbria and Lancashire. But at least your MP is now asking the right questions and highlighting the underfunding of primary care. The people who ultimately suffer from the underfunding are the patients who are also the MP’s constituents.
