GP practices are facing challenges
- Funding cuts: Over the past five years, GP practices have lost over £660 million. This limits our ability to hire more doctors and staff.
- Limited resources: We currently receive just £107.57 per patient annually, which is less than the cost of a TV license and barely enough to cover the daily cost of an apple per patient.
- Impact on care: This lack of funding strains our resources and makes it harder to see everyone who needs us. Our dedicated GP team is tired and stretched thin.
What we need:
- Fairer funding: We believe general practice deserves a larger share of NHS resources. This would allow us to:
- Train and hire more GPs.
- Offer the services you need.
- Make it easier to schedule appointments.
By working together, we can ensure everyone receives the care they deserve.
