Tories pledge to train 500 more GPs every year

The Conservatives say their plan would see the current tally of 3,538 GPs in training every year rise to around 4,000 from 2021-22.

With more than 300 million appointments every year in England, the Conservatives forecast 15% more being created as a result of these plans.Media captionWaiting times for a GP appointment have become the national conversation - the words of the chair of the Royal College of GPs. But half the 6,000 additional doctors promised by 2024 are assumed to come from international recruitment and better retention of existing staff, neither of which has been easy in recent years.

They need to as under Conservatives so many of our hardworking NHS professionals have left the service! Just as well as drop out rate for Doctors in NHS has massively increased under Conservatives.

Better headline, Tories playing catch-up after letting things slide. But it’s the BBC.

joswinson please share your pledges about the nhs. People need to hear that the LibDems have plans to make Britain better in all areas.

Perhaps if the government of the day gave more assistance to the cost of university education for essential jobs, more students would be willing to join up, instead of being saddled with debt for a good length of their working lives.

Still waiting for my unicorn.

Why are you reporting on fake news and propaganda I could promise a free unicorn for everyone at Christmas doesn’t make it true

We doomed then

i thought this was part of their last manifesto-another tory promise another tory lie

Bullshit don't believe it.

🤔Sounds as if they're all suddenly keen to rectify everything they've buggered up during their favour ridden period in office. Would any private company have tolerated such crass incompetence for so long? NOT A RUDDY CHANCE OF IT! 😖

Good luck with that one! Perhaps first they need to look at why Drs do not want to be GPs before promising more. Personally when compared to working in a hospital it’s a much “nicer” job and should be attractive to Drs.

It's as if they're telling lies for a specific reason! 🤔

Pledges are forgotten once the elections over.

They've had nine years. Remember when you could get a GP appointment on the same day, before the Tories made you wait two weeks?

Imaginary Doctors to fill imaginary hospitals.

They promised 5000 extra by 2020 and I belive manged 270 of that 5000. More Tory lies

40 hospitals

And pigs will fly who is this fuckin joker

My doctor in Scotland ?

The tories also promised to build 200,000 houses at the last election,yet so far havent built any.Never trust a tory.

Probably the same think tank that said they should pledge to build all that affordable housing?

Did the Conservative government not promise and fail to deliver an extra 5000 GPs by 2020. Don't treat us as being as stupid as your cabinet.

They've spent 10 years destroying the NHS and now they want to sell it off to American drug companies. Bunch of liars. NHS saveNHS SaveTheNHS torytoff

Instead of all parties saying they'll increase funding for schools hospitals infrastructure etc, address the issue that affects everything, immigration.

Tory lies

So why the hell haven’t they done anything in the past 9 years! You had your chance! Instead they cut everything to the bone apart from taxing their rich friends.Enough is enough Boris your vanity election will hopefully give what you deserve ToriesOut ToriesLie

Nobody believes this right?

Of course They will be needed like America for privatisation

Promises promises.
