🗞 For those of you in south Wales I helped write a piece for the Professionals column in the Western Mail yesterday. Full piece linked to below. 🏥 We are highlighting at BMA Cymru the crisis in primary #GP care. It is a huge issue and one which concerns me greatly. Imagine your local GP practice going private, and to access an NHS practice you may have to travel several miles, like dentistry. We are looking at a two tier health service, one which will see diminishing returns for people in Wales. 💷 While GPs operate as businesses, they have to do so whilst receiving limited government funding. In Wales, this funding has decreased by over 2% in the past decade, even as costs continue to rise. Consequently, 100 GP practices have handed back their keys, they could no longer run a viable practice. https://lnkd.in/e6QeCWG9
