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

The other thing we did about this on the website is that you also looked at the impact of that restriction on the reimbursement scheme that practices with more than three and a half thousand patients per GP won't be able to access voice-verified

the money. voice-verified

I mean what did you find with that? voice-verified

Yeah, I mean there were some other things in that NHS England update on the contract as well, weren't there? voice-verified

Are there any of those worth highlighting or mentioning? voice-verified

There voice-verified

The other thing you wrote about when it comes to the GP workforce, that's what we've been talking about, was the forthcoming NHS workforce plan. voice-verified

We've been waiting for this for quite a while now, haven't we? voice-verified

The government said as part of the voice-verified

ten year plan that was going to overhaul the current workforce plan which was developed under the previous Conservative government to better reflect this shift towards community, the advent of AI. voice-verified

The story you wrote was about how important it is for the plan to prioritise the recruitment of GPs, wasn't it? voice-verified

What was that all about? voice-verified

On that, it's quite interesting. voice-verified

A week or so ago the Financial Times actually ran a story about the NHS workforce plan. voice-verified

Its journalists had seen a leaked copy of the plan which basically voice-verified

Said that the plan would scale back the current plans, the Conservative government plan's ambition, to hire thousands more nurses and doctors by making greater use of AI. voice-verified

I mean, that's not necessarily a surprise, really, because the 10-year plan had already said that the workforce would not need to grow as fast as previously expected because of all the efficiency gains that apparently the NHS is going to make with AI. voice-verified

So it's not talking about voice-verified

cutting back staff. voice-verified

It's talking about not growing the workforce as quickly or as much as had been expected. voice-verified
