It will be interesting to see how that, ie moving away from the post war model of GPs as self employed contractors, plays out.
There are some reports that younger doctors are less wedded to the idea of partnership with the associated cost of buying in. Instead the practice employs them on a salary. Our local practice now has only three partners; used to be more like five.
If the reform limits itself to buying out retiring GPs rather than some sort of Nationalisation and the buyout offers are worth good money and are less hassle than getting in new equity he might have less of a battle than some suggest.
