This is MY GP, it’s here for me
Out for a run this morning I thought I’d show my appreciation for this GP practice
It has been there for me this year. I’ve needed 4 GP consults, 3 nurse appointments, a referral, 3 hospital letters responded to, blood test, 10 prescriptions
All that for less £150

It will cost more that the current contract to provide which pays £169 on average / patent / year
(This has increased from £152 in 2016 but had it kept with CPI inflation would be £209 today)
An additional £40 / person / year would enable this to be delivered
Do you want it?👇🏻

The funding given to GPs to run their practices has been cut in real terms by 20%
The average is now £169 per patient per year, but many practices receive less and in most cases this is in poorer areas with worse health outcomes

The pandemic was a catastrophe but one that had been happening in the decade before 2020
Cuts in pandemic preparedness, lack of funding & resilience
The UK saw an additional 250,000 deaths, a fall in life expectancy
Lest we forget the pandemic merely exposed the failures of Government
