I met the leader of the BMA’s GP committee today, to listen to their concerns.
GPs have been neglected for too long. They are under-resourced, struggling to cope, and patients pay the price.
I am committed to fixing the front door to our NHS.

You struggle to see a GP because we’re massively underfunded, and can’t employ GPs as lots of funding is ring fenced for certain roles only ie PAs.
GP colleagues out of work and moving abroad or out of medicine altogether. It’s a disgrace. Your NHS is being dismantled
The average GP practice of 10,000 patients in🏴has lost the equivalent of £350,000 in real terms funding in just 8 years
8000 GPs shortage in FTE GPs employed
Thousands of GPs can’t get work
NHS England Workforce Plan is fund ARRS roles not GPs
Can’t see a GP - here is why
General Practice has been broken.

Amazing stats when you consider it. No other speciality can offer this. And then consider wanting to see a dentist, or wider afield…a vet, accountant, lawyer, banker, financial advisor…on the same day you call?! And yet we’re berated over and over again…
