The Health Secretary may be considering plans to 'nationalise GPs' in a bid to increase their workload and keep patients out of hospital, it's being reported.
Sajid Javid reportedly has a number of radical changes in front of him which would include amending the 70-year-old structure of the NHS, causing family doctors to become directly employed by hospitals instead of running their own surgeries.
Mr Javid has reportedly instructed Boris Johnson that there are “considerable drawbacks” to the system under which GP surgeries are in effect independent contractors paid per patient by the NHS, reports The Times.
