DOCTORS in Wales rejected the Welsh government’s offer for the general medical services contract (GMS) today. 

BMA Cymru Wales’s GP committee voted unanimously to reject the offer for the 2024-25 GMS contract, saying it fails to provide a credible and sustainable future for general practice.

GPs in Wales will now vote on whether to accept or reject the contract in a referendum which will open later this month.
