There are shortages of GPs because Government & NHS England has failed to fund GP practices to retain, employ or increase their capacity
A cut in funding by 20% £/patient in the last 10yr & investing in other roles instead & now have unemployed GPs who are unable to get work
Simply fund practices!

GPs have done all they can to keep patients safe and provide as much as possible
1.4million people will consult today
Compare this with 67,000 in A&E
The reason for the concerns is we have a capacity problem & a funding crisis
The 8 am rush (it’s bad) will be replaced by the GP waiting list (worse)

Section 28 didn’t come out of nowhere.
It came from a society where 75% thought homosexuality was wrong.
From a society that feared the sight of a man in drag would corrupt.
From a society that believed ignorance was better for children than any knowledge of gay lives.
