Planning to bring back the family doctor, the Government's Plan for Change aims to reduce paperwork and increase funding, allowing doctors to focus more on patients. With over 889 million additional budget allocated to general practice, these changes promise to alleviate the bureaucratic burdens GPs face daily.
Daniel Francis, MP for Bexleyheath and Crayford, emphasized the significance of accessible GP appointments for residents. He expressed excitement over proposals promising to deliver more family doctor services, assuring families that their concerns for timely access and comprehensive care would be prioritized under the new changes.
Health and Social Care Secretary Wes Streeting highlighted the excessive bureaucratic pressures on GPs, noting that the current system hampers doctors from effectively treating patients. The acknowledgment of a 'broken system' underlines the urgent need for reform in general practice.
By eliminating unnecessary performance targets and enhancing funding, the proposed changes seek to enable GPs to provide better continuity of care, especially for patients with complex needs or long-term conditions. This revitalized approach aims to address patient care comprehensively, particularly benefiting the elderly.
