GP ‘plan’ - phone lines but no REAL people
2000 Fewer GPs than 2015 when Jeremy Hunt promised 5000 more by 2020
GP Practices & Pharmacies are closing
Contracts that don’t pay enough
Being navigated to a struggling service will increase unhappiness for all

Steve Barclay rightly says GP practices are providing 2 million more appts a month than 2019
Consulting with half the population of the UK a month
GPs have done this with below inflation funding for the past 5 years

GP is one of the most technologically advanced in #NHS
Embraced online forms of communication during the pandemic
Provide 20% more appts than 2019
Govt obsession with face-face appts undermines this very initiative
Tech is NOT the problem
GP numbers, funding, bureaucracy are

Whatever the Govt says
It is the lack of GPs that’s the problem
That problem stems from failures to address the underlying causes
Raising patient expectations of a smaller number of GPs will increase frustration for all
Blame MPs, DHSS, NHSE not GPs

The NHS GP contract - 230 pages
NHS & Government regulation for GP services
GPs are forced to accept what little the Government will provide for Primary Care
£163/person/year
Without proper funding General Practice will collapse
8000 too few GPs
More leaving
