Comment on NHS England medical director questioning viability of small practices

Date: 2 August 2018

Pulse approached us for a comment on the online remarks of an NHS England medical director who said small GP practices may not be viable businesses.

Dr Michelle Drage said: “This is an unfortunate statement, which I hope that when reflected upon will not further undermine the confidence and sustainability of London’s many small-sized practices. It is so frustrating for those of us across the system who are trying so hard to prevent the destabilisation of what are perfectly viable practices, which patients in London place so much value and trust in. These and other practices will now believe that NHS England has no interest in them. Saying this couldn’t be more counter-productive.”
