Dartmouth Medical Practice is supportive of the BMA’s call for:
- more investment in general practice to deliver better local, long-term care for patients
- support with expanding the GP workforce so that we have the equivalent of at least 40,000 full-time, qualified GPs in post by 2030/31
- safer, greener infrastructure to bring general practices into the 21st century and provide better care
- more control to practices so they can work collaboratively at scale, while offering continuity of care
- the necessary time to provide better quality care by removing unnecessary bureaucracy and box-ticking.
We are not of the opinion that undertaking specific actions, which might impact patients’ health is appropriate at this time.
We are also conscious that the new Government is listening and has indicated its desire to improve primary care and community support during this parliament. We will be monitoring the situation over the next few months and provide further statements when needed.
