Making a GP appointment should not be like 'booking an Uber driver you'll never see again,' scathing new report says

Committee member Ms Maskell added:"Our inquiry has heard time and again the benefits of continuity of care to a patient, with evidence linking it to reduced mortality and emergency admissions."We find it unacceptable that this, one of the defining standards of general practice, has been allowed to erode, and our report today sets out a series of measures to reverse that decline."

"We need to see urgent action taken, not just to further increase recruitment into NHS general practice, but to keep hard-working, experienced GPs in the profession longer, delivering patient care on the front line and not bogged down in unnecessary bureaucracy." Analysis: NHS in crisis: Heart attack and stroke patients waiting half an hour longer for ambulances than pre-pandemicA spokesperson for NHS England said the primary care workforce had been expanded by 19,000 since 2019 with more new roles such as assistants and digital help introduced from this month.

I know people have issues across the country but yesterday I called my doctors, was on hold 5 mins spoke to a receptionist and was given an appointment for later in the morning I always see a different doctor but usually go about 5 years between when I need a doctor

Oh to be able to book as quickly as an Uber

You can never get an appointment where I live😵‍💫

It's worse than that. Yesterday a family member of mine stayed 45 minutes on phone waiting to be picked up. When finally someone picked up, all the appointments were gone by that time. And it was a fairly urgent matter. Our GP has over 16000 registered patients only 2 GPs.

So what the bloody hell do they take an oath for if not to address the health of the people. Tax paying citizens deserve to get the services they actively fund towards too
