‘Act of desperation’: GPs take industrial action to protest NHS funding
British GPs are protesting an NHS funding rise of just 1.9%.
GPs in England are taking industrial action to protest a 1.9% NHS funding rise, after a near-unanimous vote from the British Medical Association’s GP members.
From 1 August, GP practices have a “menu” of protest options that include limiting consultations to 25 patients per day per doctor, refusing to provide data to NHS England or halting any voluntary services.
