GPs
could earn more than £100,000 a year under new proposals.
The
profession could receive pay rises of between 10 and 50 per cent on top of
their £50,000-a-year salaries, depending on how well they treat their patients.
Under
the new provisional agreement – negotiated by the Medical Association and the
NHS Confederation — GP funding will increase by 33 per cent a year to £2bn
over the next three years.
Up
to a third of GPs’ salaries could be dependent on how well they treat their
patients with another third through them offering a greater range of services
including minor operations and drug rehabilitation.

38,000 by the end of next year.
