BMA Ballot

GP leaders are to use a BMA survey, revealing more than half of practices are willing to close lists to new patients due to workload pressure, to push the Government to make good on promises from GP Forward View.

Although not a formal ballot for industrial action, the poll revealed 54% of GP practices would consider temporarily suspending registrations to ‘focus on delivering safe care to patients already on their practice list’.
