What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The British Medical Association is currently negotiating with ministers regarding several grievances, including insufficient funding and increased workload for GPs. The union is demanding more funding, less unpaid administration, and a commitment from the government to reduce workload pressures. If talks fail to achieve 'meaningful progress,' the BMA warns that industrial action could begin, potentially involving GPs limiting appointments to fewer than 20 a day.
