Thank you for engaging. This is about power and trust. The first 13 posts praise GP, the rest try to justify changing
/micro/macro managing what GPs have always done best . Put the money in core GMS and trust GPs and patients to solve problems together. 🙏

But of course it’s those “sick note scroungers” who are the problem . As Jim Royle would so eloquently put it …… My Arse !

Dear Lancs & Cumbria LMCs and Lancashire and South Cumbria ICB . are you both talking but more importantly are you both listening. Loosen your grip on your perceived control and see what happens .General practice collapses, NHS collapses .

Thank you for your candour.The original decision pushed patients into public declarations of what should have been confidential personal histories to try to protect the service. That is very very wrong . The best way to encourage people to speak is to truly listen 🙏

Those in positions of power may have noticed a pattern recently. GMC , Royal colleges , NHS England if you don’t engage with and listen to those impacted by decisions you make then the consequences are clear. Let’s start making these “WE” processes rather than them and us 🙏

So Victoria Atkins and Wes Streeting MP how about a cross party commitment that whoever is in power will to continue to fund this service in its entirety for at least the next 5 years .Showing you care for those who care. It would be a big step to rebuilding trust 🙏 NHS Practitioner Health

Common sense prevails. Thankfully. Spare a thought for those people who were desperate but summoned the bravery to refer themselves to the service and then have seen this debacle unfold. Let’s hope that they now feel able to access the help they need.

15,000 signatories (and climbing) of letter deploring your decision,the royal colleges,the defence unions,social media, everyones negative reaction and the comms/PR disaster, I mean besides all that,the defunding of NHS Practitioner Health seems to be going well NHS England 🤷‍♂️
