GPs absolutely will not 'promote' assisted dying. Parliament is in a very early stage of establishing what assisted dying for terminally ill adults will look like. We can all have a say in shaping this: unions, regulatory bodies, and patient advocacy groups will be integral to the conversation.

NHS England has neglected the fact that the increase in cash terms includes payments to PCNs These payments aren’t available for GP practices to use Stripping this away, practices have had real terms cuts in income Fewer GPs employed, practices closing and many more considering closures or cut backs

This reliance on overseas Doctors may to be problematic in the years ahead, since overseas doctors are more likely to move abroad after completing their training, compared to their UK counterparts.
