GP Crisis
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

GP Crisis is a funding crisis
If @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social wants quick productivity results he should fund community care & GPs
There are potentially 3000 GPs (WTE) available now to work if the funding was made available
Plus Nurses & other community teams ready to employ staff

I keep hearing Tory MPs and commentators saying we need to get back to pre-covid levels of long term sickness. Forgetting that covid caused huge new amounts of long term sickness.

Can’t get an appt with a GP?
Yet there are 1000s of GPs out of work or struggling to find work
NHS England have cut the equivalent of 2 full-time GPs in funding from an average practice, whilst funding ‘additional’ roles via ARRS
£2bn cut in real term
Not additional then🤷🏻♂️ youtu.be/tI69wqP1_3g?...

We have fewer GPs and practices.

Tax hike could push surgeries ‘over the edge', says GP
A doctor who represents 300 GP practices says many would be forced to cut back on staffing or close.

30million half the population
2million is the total A&E attendances a month
End the partnership model & I can guarantee A&E waits will double/treble

Streeting keeps repeating same mantra ‘the NHS is broken’. It ain’t. But it is malnourished after covid, years of austerity, while facing rising demand and failing social care. No doubt hoping to soften people up for more moving the furniture about and privatisation

As GPs we are very familiar with supporting our patients when demands tip them into crisis
Sadly many GPs find themselves in this position, with increasing demands, little support & failure of leadership to listen & provide what’s needed
How many more leaving will it take?

There appears to be a conspiracy of silence at the top of NHS England & Govt
Why has £2bn been cut from GP practices? (£/patient)
Leading to unemployment of GPs when there is a need for more GP appts
Instead funded alternative roles ARRS
What’s the problem? Why cut?
