@rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social to fund core General Practice
The average GP practice has lost the equivalent of 2 GPs, a nurse & admin in funding over the last 8 years (20% cuts)
It’s good there are negotiations but patients want & need to see GPs
Funding needed! #TeamGP

Reality is somewhat different, since 2019 GPs have been providing 5million MORE appts per month (31million) with 20% less £/patient
For context
A&E has 2.2m attendances ⬆️200k
Out-Patients 8.7m
Ambulance calls 750k (no change)

Fact: General Practice funding /patient/year has risen from £152 to £165 in 8yrs - £35 less than inflation
Average practice £350k pa less - enough to employ the GPs & additional staff
GPs are earning average 20% less

Primary care needs investment not just tinkering at the edges. We cannot employ more staff without funding as bills are increasing far more than the increase in global sum.

NHS can’t fund assisted deaths but expect charity to fund palliative care
This must be funded

NHS Dentistry model?
1990s just 6% of Dentists were private providers (mainly London) now it’s 70%
NHS GP contract needs massive funding increase as it’s been cut 20% in 8yrs
UK already seeing increasing adverts for Private GP appts £50-£100
#NHS GPs get £115/yr/patient for everything

More GP appointments
5million more a month
With 7.7m waiting for hospital treatments
1.6m for investigations
2m long term sick
Who do you think is seeing this group of people?
If you can’t get an appt someone else did, there is just not enough GPs or funding
