Labour ‘would tear up contract with GPs’ and make them salaried NHS staff

Planned overhaul for GP surgeries puts party on collision course with British Medical Association

Wes Streeting has said a Labour government would “tear up the contract” with GPs, and could make family doctors salaried NHS employees.

The shadow health secretary said the way GP surgeries operate financially is a “murky, opaque business”. The proposed changes would put Streeting on course for a confrontation with the British Medical Association (BMA).
