Public satisfaction with GP practices plummets to an all-time low

Public satisfaction with GP practices plummets to an all-time low More patients are turning to overcrowded A&Es for basic care after finding it increasingly difficult to secure a GP appointment, official figures reveal.

Public satisfaction with their practice has fallen to an all-time low, with many giving up trying to see their doctor altogether, according to the GP Patient Survey.

Experts say the NHS poll of 759,000 people lays bare the crisis in primary care and warn patients are being left in pain, unable to work and getting sicker. The Daily Mail
