The point I am making is that if the Minister is building upon the foundation of a contract that is 45 years old, that may make some practices sustainable and allow them to continue to operate but it will not attract any new GPs into the service because the fundamental basis on which the contract is built on is out of date. The Minister is putting structures on a contract which is itself unsustainable.
