The BMA continues to lobby for pension tax reform ahead of an anticipated announcement in the forthcoming Budget on 11th March 2020, and has written a joint letter together with several other health bodies to the new Chancellor, Rishi Sunak MP, calling for a solution to the pension taxation crisis.The letter states that:- “It is essential that such a reform of pension taxation policies is implemented as soon as possible. This change is supported by the signatories of this letter and the tens of thousands of doctors our organisations represent.”
We understand practices are still being approached by NHS111 providers to sign Data SharingAgreements in order for NHS 111 staff to book GP appointments directly.
