THE British Medical Association welcomed a newly agreed GP contract as a “turning point” today – but stressed that more work is needed to help the service.

The union voted to accept, in principle, proposed reforms to the General Medical Services contract in England, following two months of negotiations with the government. 

It agreed to accept proposed reforms if the government commits to renegotiating a completely new national contract within this parliament.
