Speaking earlier, Treasury minister Darren Jones said changes to the Employment Allowance - which allows some businesses to offset their NI bill - would shield smaller GP surgeries from the tax rise.But professional associations have cast doubt on this claim, pointing out that businesses that do most of their work in the public sector are not eligible.

The Royal College of GPs has written to Health Secretary Wes Streeting, calling for GP surgeries to be protected from the rise by receiving the "necessary funding to cover these additional costs".Its chair, Prof Kamila Hawthorne, added that otherwise surgeries would have to look at making redundancies or even potentially closing down, meaning patients would "bear the brunt" of the tax hike.Dr David Wrigley, a GP and deputy chair at the British Medical Association, also called for a "rapid announcement of full reimbursement".

He added that the impact of the NI hike would be "monumental" for practices, many of which were "already on a financial tight rope".Paul Stanley, a practice manager at Gas House Lane Surgery in Northumberland, told the BBC he expected the rise to cost his surgery about £40,000 a year, a “huge amount of money” that could mean it needs to rethink its staffing levels.
