How many unnecessary investigations and appts in this pathway? In what alternate reality does someone have a test results by the time they've done their shopping? This example will cost a fortune. For this sort of choice availability, you need capacity in the system. La la land!!!

Great analysis. But we should be showing this to all our children. This behaviour occurs in all walks of life, not just politics, and the cycle needs to be broken.

Currently General Practice only gets 6% of the NHS budget but does 90% of the work (only 5% of all drs & nurses are in GP). The GP contract is worth £620million less than it was 5 yrs ago. We are asking for an 11%uplift to bring us back to the level of funding we had 5yrs ago.

Invest in General Practice. Currently funding is 30p/pt/day! Invest just over £3 per month per head to achieve a return to real terms funding, last seen in 2015. GPs will do the rest. This is just the price of a cup of coffee. Support the partnership model which is the most efficient part of the NHS
