The British Medical Association has strongly criticised the government’s plans for GP services after they announced a range of measures to see the return of face to face appointments.
General Practitioners Committee chairman Dr Richard Vautrey says: “GPs across England will be truly horrified that this is being presented as a lifeline to general practice, when in reality it could sink the ship altogether.”
He says the package offers “very little” and patients will “continue to suffer” and find it harder to book appointments.
Dr Vautrey says in-person appointments are still a key feature of GP care, he argues the pandemic has proven phone and video consultations are “entirely appropriate and appreciated” by many.
