Withdrawal Of The Minimum Practice Income Guarantee

EDM number 464 in 2013-14, proposed by Timothy Farron on 02/09/2013.
Categorised under the topics of Health finance and Health services.

That this House recognises that the withdrawal of the Minimum Practice Income Guarantee for General Practices will disproportionately affect small rural practices, such as those in Coniston and Hawkshead; notes that this loss in funding may result in these surgeries being forced to close; further notes that these practices are vital to the communities they serve, particularly in large rural areas; and therefore calls on NHS England, the Department of Health and the British Medical Association to intervene so that specific financial and administrative support is given to small rural general practices to ensure their ongoing viability.

This motion has been signed by a total of 11 MPs.
