I agree but there are still too many touches (patient interactions) within the system.

Dreadful. Decisions on NHS are not going to help anyone except the private sector.

@Teresa_Peckham They should be employing NHS GPs in local clinics, cutting the stranglehold private practice has on the system!

gp's are not always expert at Dx ! my neighbour told me today that blood cancer almost destroyed his spine whilst his damn GP did nothing but stuff him with pain killers for months ! he had to pay for his own private scan in the end in order to move towards a correct Dx !

Not my experience, regrettably. My late husbands' former GPs' - from same Health Centre - violated every Canon of the traditional patient-doctor trust imperative. Then they, all three, lied their heads off. Completely and utterly shameless.

There are shortages of GPs because NHS England has failed to fund GP practices to retain, employ or increase their capacity A cut in funding by 20% £/patient in the last 8yrs & investing in other roles instead, we now have unemployed GPs who are unable to get work Nick Triggle

GPs want patients to be able to see GPs Yet Wes Streeting is not listening to their concerns There are unemployed GPs & practices with too little funding to employ them Online access 8am-6.30pm without the support will be a disaster for patients & will reduce actual appts

We ‘all’ want to see GPs? The ‘all’ seems to exclude NHS England & Govt There has been an overall real terms cut in funding for GPs in the last 8 years Without funding none of us will be seeing GPs Join me in persuading Wes Streeting & NHS England to increase funding for GPs

NHS England Board ARRS Questions but no answers! GPs are being replaced by additional roles due to funding being diverted to PCNs who allocate staff GP Practices aren’t able to recruit as funding cut 20% £/patient real terms since 2016 Fewer GPs as excluded from funding options

Bring back the family Doctor We all want this as we know instinctively that seeing the same person or group of people is key to managing health better Yet with funding cuts there are fewer GPs available, making it harder for patients & GPs to provide the continuity of care needed

This is a plea to Department of Health and Social Care Wes Streeting to fund core General Practice The average GP practice has lost the equivalent of 2 GPs, a nurse & admin in funding over the last 8 years (20% cuts) It’s good there are negotiations but patients want & need to see GPs Funding needed!

It costs more money in the long term" "We would like to employ more GPs and we know we have significant number of GPs unemployed, unable to find work" Victoria Derbyshire, "So employ more" Gavin Shields, "We can't because the core funding that goes into our practcies is not enough, and it has fallen in real terms.. And in England the contract says we are not allowed to employ GPs" Victoria Derbyshire, "Why not?" Gavin Shields, "We are not allowed" Victoria Derbyshire, "Maria Caulfield, what's the rationale for that? Why can't GPs practices employ more GPs?" Maria Caulfield, "The are roles for outher healthcare professionals.. That was agreed with GPs" Victoria Derbyshire, "So you can employ other people to help?"

GPs are told to take the strain off hospitals - and they'll get paid twenty pounds for each patient they don't refer - but are there enough GPs to make that work? Dr Amir Khan GP explains what this means.

Must watch report on how the Coservative party are destroying the NHS by stopping GP practcies from hiring more GPs - shame on them #C4News Victoria Macdonald, "Patients complain that they can't get through to their GPs on the phone.. Appointments.. Can't be seen for 2, 3 even 4 weeks" "At the same time we're hearing about GPs who can't get jobs and locums who are out of work" "British Medical Association.. A survey of 2,000 GPs in England.. 4 in 5 are struggling to find work.. 1 in 3 are leaving the NHS" Dr Katie Bramail-Stainer, "This has been a problem for 10 months.. We've told Conservative ministers.. We've told the department of health.. And it's got worse" "The income going into GP practices is dropping.. They are cut to the bone.. They have no resources" Victoria Macdonald, "£1.4 billion has been ring fenced for physios, paramedics or physician associates (fake GPs).. So practices have no choice but to employ them instead of GPs and nurses" Dr Suzanne Gaskell, "Locum GPs who have never struggled to find shifts are struggling to find anything at all.. Lots have gone overseas to Canada, Australia" Dr Steve Taylor, "GPs are doing 20% more work since the pandemic.. It's probably why they're not investing.. But patients all the time are saying they can't get access to their GP" Matt Frei then tears apart Conservative Maria Caulfield who tries to dismiss the issue affecting GPs

Wes has said he will ‘Bring back the Family Doctor’ is he planning on bringing them back from the dead Failure to listen to front line GPs like Dr Fari Ahmad will result in worse care for patients There are better ways & GPs are really clear they want better access to GPs for all

GPs across England have sent a clear message. Nearly every GP who voted has rejected the Government’s imposed contract that would pile on work and be unsafe for patients. GPs want to work with Government on a new contract that’s properly resourced and sustainable. It’s time to return to the table.

Confused about the upcoming GP strike? Watch this from Dr Steve Taylor - give him a follow too 👍 ➡️ There aren't enough GPs ➡️ Since 2015 we've lost 2,000 GPs ➡️ Funding since 2015 has reduced 10-12% ➡️ More people, fewer GPs ▶️ This is a problem the Tory gov have made ◀️ ➡️ In 2015, Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said there would be 5,000 more GPs in 2020. There weren't ➡️ In 2019 Health Secretary Matt Hancock said there would be 6,000 more GPs by now. There aren't ➡️ The current Tory government (video was filmed in June 2024) said there are 2,000 more GPs. That's not true. There are 2,000 less So the Conservative government kept saying they'd hire more GPs, they didn't. On top of this the new GP contract means that GP practices are underfunded. This is how the Conservative government destroyed NHS dentistry, and they've tried to destroy NHS GP practices as well I don't envy Labour needing to find a way to fix this, but if Labour don't address the GP crisis amongst the wider NHS crisis, healthcare in our country will diminish even further and the cost of fixing problems cause by problems caused by a lack of healthcare will be even more costly
