BMA warns of “private sector kicking GPs out of their surgeries”

Health department guidance issued last year said that aspirant community foundation trusts could acquire primary care trust properties where the trust occupies most of the building and where the asset is deemed to be "service critical clinical infrastructure." Dr Glackin said that his organisation was in discussions with London primary care trust clusters and NHS London (the strategic health authority) in a bid to draw up "model" leases for general practices, as well as an agreed list of "reasonable" service charges that GPs should pay to landlords. Hold property for use by community and primary care services, including for use by social enterprises; Deliver value for money property services; Cut the costs of administering the estate by consolidating the management of more than 150 estates; Deliver and develop cost effective property solutions for community health services; and Dispose of property that is surplus to NHS requirements.
