Talking General Practice · BMA to ballot on ‘plan B’ for GP contracts, NHS workforce plan, single patient record fears · 29 May 2026 podcast

She said uh the need for the ballot could be prevented, but the government needed to urgently engage with the very real concerns GPs have about their core contract. voice-verified

as well as their well being and livelihoods. voice-verified

Or we risk losing NHS general practice entirely, she said. voice-verified

But it's a slightly tricky situation, this, isn't it? voice-verified

I can see exactly why we've ended up here and it'll be really interesting to see what happens with that ballot and how it develops. voice-verified

But if you're a Labour government faced with GPs prepared to leave the NHS en masse or pushing for a hybrid model, voice-verified

that's that is a potentially a real problem for you as as a Labour government if voice-verified

You know, maybe that's something you would welcome. voice-verified

And I guess the, you know, the same question applies to that as well. voice-verified

Will having a new health secretary affect any of the things that are in the health bill or and what that ends up looking like after it's been through uh both houses? voice-verified

I wrote about where Streeting's time in office for the website, sort of look at his legacy, as it were. voice-verified

And obviously, you know, there's a lot. voice-verified

There's a lot of things there. voice-verified
