Pippa Heylings

Liberal Democrat — South Cambridgeshire

Speaking in the House of Commons on 17 December 2024

Debate

National Insurance Contributions (Secondary Class 1 Contributions) Bill

Contribution

I agree with the hon. Member. I know that the Government are in conversation with GPs, but GPs are writing to us saying that they are seriously concerned. The GP in Harston said: “GPs cannot raise prices or operate at a loss.” They have not had clarification or confirmation from the Government about how funding that is to be given to others in the public sector will be available to them. Just at the critical time when GPs are coming to their annual spending reviews and budgeting, the Government are bringing them this uncertainty. GPs do not feel that they are getting the right messaging or any kind of clarity that will save people’s jobs.
