A number of GP practices in Birmingham could see their viability threatened as a result of 'drastic' cuts to their PMS contract funding, the LMC has warned.
A practice in the crisis town of Folkestone in Kent has announced it will shut after the local CCG refused to let it close its patient list and the surgery was unable to cope with the extra demand.
Multiple GP practices in Kent have permanently shut down and others have been taken over by a partnership, after being suspended by the CQC at the end of last year.
A GP practice in the West Midlands has warned it will direct patients to walk-in centres to ensure safe care due to the increasing demand it is experiencing following the closure of nearby surgeries.
LMCs are reporting that GPs are considering whether to continue with primary care networks, with many raising concerns that the new requirements will affect the viability of practices.
