Fewer fully trained GPs are practising in the county than last year, new figures show, as pressures on NHS services mount.
England saw the biggest year-on-year fall in more than three years in fully qualified GPs, despite the Government's 2019 manifesto pledge to recruit 6,000 more GPs by 2025.
It comes as the BMA has said the continued decline in fully trained GPs – which means there are now more than 1,900 full-time equivalent fewer doctors than in 2015 – is"alarming", and urged the Government to take the situation seriously. Dr McCarthy pointed to a survey of European GPs that had shown that 24 per cent had responded by saying that their workload was"reasonable", with all having a number of factors in common, which are not present in UK practice.
"At the moment hospital doctors are paid between £16 and £24 an hour – my granddaughter's piano teacher earns more than that. It is not fair pricing. She added:"They say it is not as relentless, and they all say it is because over there they feel appreciated and that is not something doctors in this country feel."Dr Kieran Sharrock, GP committee acting chair at BMA England, said:"Despite promises to recruit 5,000 – and then 6,000 – more GPs, the Government has now overseen the loss of the equivalent of more than 1,900 full-time fully qualified GPs in England since 2015.
