Executive Summary
Government proposals to allow commercial organisations to employ GPs have been attacked by the UK British Medical Association as "a step too far". The BMA's quarterly council meeting resolved to seek amendments to the Primary Care Bill to close off the route to commercial involvement in NHS family doctors' services, claiming it could damage patient care and lead to the break up of the UK's health system.
