It was an excellent, thoughtful, and sensitively-pitched speech by Chris Morris

We are calling on the Govt to take immediate action as we need ringfenced funding for GP jobs based in General Practice, and for primary care to survive, we need it now! Wes Streeting #endGPunemployment

How has it come to this... Patients are waiting over 4 weeks to see their GP whilst there are MANY GPs unemployed that could reduce these waits Instead of treating patients in the community, our colleagues are considering employment benefits Wes Streeting #EndGPUnemployment



There is still a GP employment crisis despite Wes Streeting releasing Ā£80m into ARRS as an āemergencyā measure Because it was restricted to newly qualified & these roles arenāt substantive meaning appts arenāt increasing Funding is needed for Practices to recruit/retain/pay GPs

GPs out of work & leaving the #NHS The result of chronic underfunding of GP practices, 20% less £/patient than 2016 Wes Streeting has funded non-substantive roles via ARRS but not moved funding into GP practices Results speak for themselves NHS England NHS England Workforce, Training and Education Department of Health and Social Care




Ben G.T. Coumbe DOCTORS are the NHS punching bag. The most extensive training and clinical responsibility but still viewed as replaceable. It's why as a profession we have seen the biggest drop in pay in private & public sectors and DHSC/GMC look to replace us with our assistants.
