DOCTORS are being told to stop seeing new patients by the British Medical Association amid the continuing row over face-to-face appointments. The trade union accused Health Secretary Sajid Javid of…

: "The situation is extremely worrying – we seem to be stuck in a battle of wills between the Health Secretary and the BMA, and it's patients who are left to suffer."When doctors are refusing to see patients, it completely undermines the ethos of the NHS. It is supposed to be comprehensive and free at the point of delivery, but now it's getting harder and harder to see a GP.

A Department of Health and Social Care spokesman said: "GPs have done phenomenal work through the most difficult 18 months in living memory."Our plan will improve access and drive up face-to-face appointments by cutting bureaucracy and giving GP teams targeted support, backed by a further £250 million. Alongside this, we are working with NHS England and trade unions to launch a zero-tolerance campaign on abuse of NHS staff.

A whole load of money being shoved to GPs, people who are private business is a big shame. GPs will do anything not to see patients. Unfortunately NHS England is incompetently waste of money. The whole system is messed up yet British public look to NHS as its saviour, Sad!
