Will your MP protect GP Practices?

URGENT: GP Practices are at risk

The Government’s Budget on 30 October failed to protect GP practices from the increase in Employer National Insurance contributions.

Practices are already under severe financial strain due to years of neglect and this additional cost is one they simply cannot afford.

The Government must treat GPs like other parts of the NHS and urgently reverse this decision.

We need all GP Partners to write to their MP, outlining the risk this will have on practices in their constituencies and ask them to immediately raise this issue with the Treasury and Department for Health and Social Care. 

MPs will be debating the details of Budget next week, so it’s vital the Government is hearing our voice beforehand.

The Government has promised to repair and invest in the NHS. But this decision could see an adverse impact on patient care and the potential for more practices to close their doors for good 

Please email the MP of your practice using our tool today. It only takes a few minutes but it could make all the difference.

Email your MP

MPs respond much more positively to emails that include personal experience and concerns.

You could include details about the current financial constraints your practice is under, the estimated amount the changes will cost your practice and your fears for the care patients will receive as a result.
