General practice is collapsing.

Across England, practices are working at an unprecedented level of activity with daily appointments running at almost 1.5 million. Despite this, the value of funding into the national contract is at a nadir with GP practices receiving 7p in every NHS pound. At an individual patient level, the average core contract payment equates to £107.57 per annum, around 30p per patient per day. It’s no wonder practices are closing – they’re no longer financially viable.

General practice, the most efficient and productive part of the NHS, is being driven to collapse.
