Gp's are moving to much work on to pharmacists,many are far too busy to be seeing people with minor ailments. Why can't we simply go back to see our GP when we are ill

Hello @GMB can we please get this right. This is being done by PHARMACY OWNERS not by PHARMACISTS. This is a business decision and does not involve the profession, vast majority of whom are not pharmacy owners.

Ah yes, because cutting essential healthcare services is always the solution when underfunded. Maybe we can pay for it with all that “extra” money the #NHS has lying around
