GPs Consider Unprecedented Industrial Action Threatening NHS Operations

British Medical Association's ballot on limiting patient numbers and other measures could disrupt healthcare services across England.

GPs may cap patient consultations to 25 per day, potentially overwhelming A&E units and other services.
The ballot results, expected soon, could lead to significant changes starting August 1.
The new contract offering a 1.9% funding increase is seen as inadequate by many GPs.
Doctors aim to target NHS administrative policies, not patients, with their actions.
Potential measures include ignoring prescription rationing and opting out of non-essential data-sharing agreements.
