EXCLUSIVE: ICB warns GP collective action could cause £4.2 million financial loss
Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire West (BOB) ICB has warned it may lose £4.2m this year due to GP collective action.
BOB ICB said that collective action by GPs in its area represents a ‘high-risk factor’ as it could ‘significantly increase’ GP prescribing costs.
And a Berks, Bucks & Oxon LMCs survey of practices in the area, seen by Pulse, showed that 94.1% of respondent practices in BOB are ‘engaging in some form of collective action’.
