WELSH GPs are preparing for industrial action after 99 per cent voted to reject the government’s 2024-25 contract offer, British Medical Association (BMA) Cymru Wales announced today.
GPs and GP registrars from across the country took part in the union’s online referendum on the General Medical Services contract offered by the Welsh government last month.
The poll, which ran from November 25 to December 16, saw 99 per cent vote to reject the contract, on a turnout of 68 per cent.
