北爱尔兰政府采购部门拒绝与卫生部长签订合同,在服务受到威胁的情况下要求提供更多资金。 Northern Ireland GPs reject Health Minister's contract, demand more funding amid threat to services.

北爱尔兰的全科医生通过了对卫生部长迈克·内斯比特的不信任投票，要求在他未经同意的情况下强行实施2025/26年度全科医生合同后，重新进行资金谈判。 GPs in Northern Ireland have passed a no-confidence vote in Health Minister Mike Nesbitt, demanding renewed talks over funding after he imposed the 2025/26 GP contract without agreement. 英国医学协会指出,与据称维持服务需要的8 000万英镑相比,提供900万英镑的资金是不够的。 The British Medical Association cited a £9 million funding offer as insufficient compared to the £80 million GPs say is needed to sustain services. 投票还表示对卫生部没有信心,并表明对目前国民保健制度结构之外的替代照料模式持开放态度。 The vote also expressed no confidence in the Department of Health and signaled openness to alternative care models outside the current NHS structure. 弗朗切斯·奥哈根博士说,这一行动反映了人们对谈判陷入僵局感到沮丧,希望防止疫苗接种等基本服务进一步中断,并警告说,如果会谈失败,升级可能随之而来。 Dr Frances O’Hagan said the move reflects frustration over stalled negotiations and a desire to prevent further disruptions to essential services like vaccinations, warning that escalation could follow if talks fail. 内斯比特承认了关切,并说对话仍然是可能的。 Nesbitt acknowledged concerns and said dialogue remains possible.
