Answer
GPs have been neglected for too long. They are under-resourced, struggling to cope, and patients pay the price.
We know that there is pressure on primary care estates and service provision in areas of high population growth.
General practice provides high quality care, and we are committed to shifting the focus of care out of hospitals and into the community.
