GPs' pay: Number of doctors earning £100,000 has quadrupled, report shows

The number of family doctors earning more than £100,000 a year has quadrupled in less than a decade, according to evidence submitted to the annual NHS pay review.

Official documents show that more than 16,000 GPs are being paid six-figure sums, including more than 600 on more than £200,000.

Nine years ago, just 4,000 were paid more than £100,000 a year.

The evidence to the annual pay review by NHS England, the central body which controls most of the health budget, suggests any pay rise for GPs is unaffordable, with a £30bn black hole in the health service projected by 2020." -- The Telegraph website.

And that is why no one can have any sympathy for GPs complaining about having to work in the evenings or weekends to see patients.

Poor hard done by doctors! NOT!!!

Rant over.
