Verbatim
“GPs across England want their patient lists to be accurate and reflect their active populations, and wholeheartedly support list cleansing in principle. However, the current process is deeply flawed. That is why we have asked NHS England to pause the exercise. The current approach is too aggressive, costing practices up to tens of thousands of pounds in lost income and resulting in active patients, including those from vulnerable groups, being removed in error.”
“The current approach is too aggressive, costing practices up to tens of thousands of pounds in lost income and resulting in active patients, including those from vulnerable groups, being removed in error.”
“General practice is under huge pressure, and any mandatory training they are asked to undertake should be properly funded and developed so that they have time to carry it out.”
“We're opening the doors to potentially infinite access. A practice that has 10,000 patients could theoretically receive 10,000 requests that day. How is a GP supposed to deal with all of those requests in a single day? It's not possible.”
“It culminated [on 3 December] when they decided to label doctors as "moaning minnies" and "juvenile delinquents", which is really astonishing language to be coming from a government minister.”
“I don't expect everyone to agree with what's happening with regards to industrial action or the GP dispute. But what's important here is professional and respectful communication and that is something that I would like to be looked at by the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards.”
