IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO OUR PATIENTS FOLLOWING GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCEMENT ON GENERAL PRACTICE FUNDING FOR 2024/2025
On 31st January 2024, the government’s funding for General Practice for 2024/2025 was announced; the funding uplift is just 1.9%. A 1.9% funding increase is not going to get close to the funding needed for expanded services, employed staff pay rises and the costs associated with higher energy prices and mortgage rates. As a practice, we are very worried. For context, I thought it might be helpful to explain about the crisis General Practice is facing and how we are funded; if you want to read my full statement, please click on the following link for greater detail MESSAGE TO OUR PATIENTS FOLLOWING GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCEMENT ON GENERAL PRACTICE FUNDING FOR 2024 However, please see the at a glance summary below for your convenience:
