Inflation 5.5%???

Real-terms GP income far below level a decade ago and set for further drop
Evidence from the DHSC to the Doctors and Dentists Review Body (DDRB), which advises the government on pay, shows that average GP partner income in 2019/20 was £121,800 - down 15% in real terms compared with 2006/7.
Salaried GP pay at £63,600 in 2019/20 is down 8.5% in real terms over the same period, figures quoted in the DHSC evidence show
The call for pay rises for salaried GPs and other practice staff to be limited to 2% comes despite the government backing a 3% rise last year that exceeded the level awarded through the five-year deal, leaving practices with huge unfunded rises in staff costs.
