Doctors say they are 'too BUSY' to look after dying patients because of growing workloads

Doctors say they are 'too BUSY' to look after dying patients because of growing workloads The majority of doctors say they are too busy to provide the quality of end-of-life care they would like to.

That's the finding of a new survey done by the Royal College of General Practitioners, which quizzed 1,000 GPs across the UK.

Medical professionals blame growing workloads and funding cuts for the problem.

The research also found 62 per cent of doctors feel there's insufficient community support available to terminally ill patients and their families, because of a lack of funds. The Daily Mail
