Did you know that the Tories are seducing English GPs into an American-style health system – RIGHT NOW?
I’ve only just found out about this and it is scandalous.
The Conservative government is pushing a new “GP contract” on local medical practices in England, demanding that your family doctor should sign up to the creation of “Primary Care Networks” based on a US-style model of “integrated care”.
The traditional doctor/patient relationship will end.
You will lose the right to see your GP.
Continuity of care will end.
Your GP may think they are signing up for something better, as doctors are being promised more money and more nursing staff, but…
The money is to make up for cuts to hospital care.
You will be forced to see less skilled staff.
This means your medical records will be shared widely, breaching patient confidentiality.
Patient care will suffer, meaning you will be more likely to suffer preventable harm under the new system.
And, eventually, the new system means the Tories will be able to sell your healthcare to private companies who don’t even need to be health specialists.
For the full, nightmarish scenario, see this video clip:
Is this what you want?
A diminished, profit-driven model of health care in which your well-being is of no consequence compared to the ability of a multi-national conglomerate to make money from your illness?
If you don’t, there’s still something you can do about it.
Download the leaflet and editable letter from this site, adapt the letter according to your own circumstances, and send both to your GP.
Do it before it is too late.

Hi Mike
I think this is outrageous as I only have faith and trust in my own GP at the moment and if that gets taken away I have no clue what that would happen.
I fear we are too late though because I found the following article that appears to suggest its already a done deal?
https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-statement/Commons/2019-01-31/HCWS1287/
When I manage to speak to my GP directly about this I will come back and share her comments on the matter.
You mention “This means your medical records will be shared widely”. Unfortunately there’s evidence that this is already happening. If one thinks of this as a robbery it seems the door has been opened and we can see some of what they are doing but … they have big guns and we are unarmed. There is nothing we can actually do except watch in horror. They don’t care anymore because they can continue to take what they want.
Mike this is very serious indeed i have contacted my daughter and she is putting it on Facebook right now it needs to go viral i have also contacted 38 Degrees.
I have just contacted my surgery, no doctors are changing And patients records are still under Confidentiality. I was told to look on NHS England website, I was assured that my care won’t change and I will still see the same doctor, this could be speculation, so I have been told.
They would say that, wouldn’t they?
