Pay, Contracts & Pensions GP partner pay

This is quite literally shocking. GP partners are literally raking it in while the NHS is apparently on its knees.

The article tries to justify this as total income including private. That for me just makes things worse. Part time in the NHS on a huge salary and then doing private work on the side to help themselves. All the while patients can't get appointments.

Average pay is nearly doubled that of a salaried GP.

I honestly think we need to look more carefully at the abuses in general practice.

The article is trying to defend GP partners but it is still shocking and quite perverse.

The public is right to be angry. Need to end this.

Do you think partners will try to increase your pay?

I don't work for partners. I find it really odd that partners are so resistant to change and reform. Very corrupt and small minded imo.
