Dr David Wrigley of the British Medical Association warned that the NI tax rise would have a monumental impact on GPs, many of whom are already financially strained.
Mike Padgham from the Independent Care Group stated that the additional charges from the NI rise will severely affect charity and private sector providers, who are already under financial pressure.
Hospices UK expressed disappointment that the National Insurance increase didn't exempt charities and providers of NHS services, highlighting that wages for compassionate hospice staff are their largest expense.
Health Secretary Wes Streeting confirmed that social care providers will be impacted by the National Insurance rise, and he is assessing how to address their concerns.
