I say Keir - it's all looking a bit crumbly
GPs vote for industrial action that could severely disrupt NHS services
Family doctors in the British Medical Association (BMA) voted overwhelmingly in favour of collective action in a ballot of 8,500 members, with 98.3 per cent backing action.
Doctors have been told they can “pick and choose” from measures including a limit on the number of patients they see to 25 a day, which could force patients to use A&E or 111. The BMA says that GPs have an average of 37 patient contacts per day.

"Severely disrupt NHS services"
So what have they been doing for the past two years? Other than hiding in their offices and passing as much work as possible to nurses, that is . . .
Jannie - yes, it's difficult to imagine things being significantly worse, but no doubt the attempt will be made or it isn't worthwhile for them.
"The BMA says that GPs have an average of 37 patient contacts per day."
Well, if you say so...
I suppose some might be looking into the rooms where the nurse practitioners are holding big group sessions for lots of patients. That might bring the average up.
In other news, Sir Keir Stasi has just formally declared war on the white working class and anyone who wants to disagree with him about the benefits of importing child-murderers. I can't see this lasting much longer, to be honest.
Sam - our GPs might possibly have an average of 37 patient contacts per day as that includes phone calls and who knows what other fiddles, but none of them do a 5 day week.
I can't see things lasting much longer without some kind of shift in perspective, Starmer seems to have triggered far more than he expected and not what he expected.
