Let struggling GP surgeries fail, says NHS England letter Some struggling GP surgeries in England will be allowed to fail and close, according to a leaked document.
A letter from an NHS England official to managers and GPs in one region suggests vulnerable practices could be left to "wither by the system".
The note, seen by the BBC and Pulse magazine, claims NHS England is no longer able to "continue supporting practices irrespective of their ability… to transform appropriately".
NHS England denied this was the case.
A spokesman for the British Medical Association said it was "unacceptable" that some NHS managers believed that some GP practices would be left to close. BBC News
