Sadly The Labour Party policies reduced GP access, they haven’t listen to GPs about how to improve it, imposed a contract that wouldn’t work & left patients with little choice They are still lying to the public, seeing more general practice appts is not better access to GPs

Where’s the money? Can we afford the NHS? Most discussions about the NHS focus on how to squeeze more money out of a system labeled as a "bottomless pit." But what if we've been asking the wrong questions? Debunking myths about national debt & the real power of £ creation youtu.be/mOmMzj5Ji3o?...

The number of GP practices in England fell from 7,686 in 2015 to 6,359 in 2025, while the number of homes rose by around 2m over the same period As a result, the number of homes served per average GP practice rose from 3,066 in 2015 to 3,976 in 2025.

There are no specialists in GP practices other than GPs The average number of patients / GP has increased from 1800 to 2300 so there are fewer GPs per head of population The amount paid to practices/ person has fallen 20% in 10y The average income has also fallen 20-25% There are unemployed GPs

Looking at one small part of practice “performance” doesn’t take into consideration all the other factors and work being done. Until a full picture of workload and workflows is available, it’s wrong to use this as a way to measure & worse still “performance manage” practices
