| Comment | Demand is nearly 50% higher than the same time last year. Massive delays in secondary care meaning patients are in a holding pattern at their practice. Complex mental health that takes a long time to unpick. People are living longer and developing multiple conditions that need managed concurrently. Some GPs have retired left or emigrated, and it’s more than the number coming through to replace them. GP isn’t attractive because of berating in the press. “Part time” GP is still 36 hours a week. |
