GPs are not 'crying wolf' about pressures, says NHS chief executive

GPs are not 'crying wolf' about pressures, says NHS chief executive GPs are willing to consider 'radical' changes to their model of practise because they have been 'systematically under-invested in', NHS England's chief executive has said.

Simon Stevens said that general practice in England will change, away from the 'cottage industry', with new models including hospital takeovers and GP super-practices.

And he said these changes were made possible because GPs were 'willing to contemplate some quite radical changes', but he admitted that this was a direct response to under-investment and NHS leaders placing 'rising workload and demands' on GPs. Pulse
