Are saying with the new NI Tax hike and increase in minimum wage they may be forced to close

GP’s are stating their services may also be affected by Job losses.

You didn’t really think this through did you Rachael - This really isn’t going to help the NHS

The Labour Party strikes again

Remember when employers claimed that the introduction of a National Minimum Wage would force them to lay off millions?

Remember when that never actually happened?

Wealthy business owners love throwing their weight around and scaremongering when it's suggested that they might want to pay their way every now and then.

Do you class GP surgeries as “wealthy business owners”?

Kamila Hawthorne, the chair of the Royal College of GPs, called on ministers to protect family doctor services. “We have very serious concerns about the impact of the increase in national insurance employer contributions on GP practices right across the country, many of whom are already struggling to keep their doors open and make ends meet due to historic chronic underfunding,” she said.

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2024/nov/01/ministers-urged-to-protect-gp-pr

The Liberal Democrat leader, Ed Davey, has called for social care providers to be exempt from the NICs rises, while the Labour backbencher Rachael Maskell called on ministers to consider the impact of the increase on GPs, care providers and hospices.

Ed Davey. Bloody Tory scaremongering.

Regardless of the op’s political views, do you believe that social care providers should be exempt from the NICs rises in order to protect these vital services?

Under the Tories, they don’t need to.

Their friends in high places ensure they get contracts worth hundreds of millions without actually having to do anything.

I think it depends - my mum was a carer for years. Over that time the home changed hands a few times and the level of care over profit was variable I’d say.

The fact we can’t care for our own is down to the same as so many other areas, greed. That means a really costly and inefficient means test is the fairest way to determine that. We can’t really afford some sort of domesday project of every service unfortunately.

I think as with schools, if homes are failing because of how they are run, they should be able to ask for help/intervention to stop the users suffering too much. If Reeves has got her sums massively wrong, then she should be able and allowed by the public to adjust them. The op demonstrates why that can’t happen though.

As with the rest of the thread rich people telling us we are all going to suffer because they are seems to be a recurrent theme though.

Ed Davey has a vslid point. While the NHS is exempt from paying the increased employer NI those companies that provide services to NHS are not. That presumably includes every GP group, and everyone working in hospitals and not being paid directly by NHS.

The devil is in the detail.

Imagine not wanting to pay somebody a living wage ( in really challenging times for healthcare) as decent and living wage!..... it just annoys me that nobody wants to pay any tax at all but want every conceivable benefit from every area of government responsibilities.

Are you serious?

Being in Government is very similar to running a business.

They collect money from members of the public and decide what to do with it.

If you wanted to Invest some money and visited a financial advisor and his reply was I have never really done this before but I will give a go would you have confidence in them?

If I was Kier Starmer or the PM of any political party I would get the best Business minds around a table and ask them how we make this country work.

Unfortunately most of the Political Parties are too arrogant to do this and think they know best and so we have this continual problem of balancing the books regardless of who is in power

There is an argument to be had regarding private care homes, though it’s not one I would debate in favour of. However, I don’t think there is regarding GP surgeries. The should be exempt from the rise in NIC’s.

Possibly, it depends on whether or not they can genuinely function or have been mismanaged etc. I don’t know the extent of GP surgeries who are run to maximise profits etc.

My local one seems to struggle to retain GPs because the money being a locum is so high it’s a better deal. That needs to change massively. Whereas in Suffolk you are less likely to get young GPs as people who move there are likely to be older and looking to retire there.

There is so much mess to fix under the Tories that it’s not going to be an easy or clear path. Health care is vital and probably requires the most exceptions because you can’t simply nationalise it overnight.

As a very small company, the rate of employer's NI contributions will lead to us lay off one person, and I can see this happening elsewhere.

However, the care industry pays the lowest pay for the most challenging of jobs (that no one wants to do) whilst at the same time charging up to £2,000 or more a week per resident.

I think actually, it should be law that care workers and possibly NHS staff on the floor, should be given a higher level of minimum wage.

Social care of our elderly and vulnerable shouldn’t be in the for-profit sector anyway. The way these care homes treat their staff and patients in many instances is appalling. The NI part is irrelevant they’ll just pass on the cost since it’s a service that if you need it you’ll have no choice. Given the aging population we probably can’t afford to nationalise the system, but we should be looking at providing care at a cost (not for profit) basis.

Problem is how far do you go with concessions to employers on NICs?

Presumably all school staff employed directly by local authorities no increase in Employee NICs, but an increase for staff employed through Academies.
