Health Secretary Sajid Javid is expected to announce a package of measures in the coming days to try and cut NHS bureaucracy.
‘We have been working closely with the NHS on a plan to support GPs and deliver better outcomes for patients. We all want the same outcome and by working together we can achieve it but we will hold the small minority letting the side down to account.’Worst-affected areas like Fylde, Hull, Thurrock and Portsmouth have almost twice the number of people per GP compared to better served places like Liverpool and Oxfordshire.
Latest figures suggest that fewer than 60% of GP consultations in England are held in person, compared with 80% before the pandemic.
