The health secretary unveils plans to boost access - but doctors say they will have minimal impact.
The government is promising to improve access to GPs, including same-day appointments for those that need them, as part of a new plan in England.
Ms Coffey is due to announce the plan, which will also cover hospital services, in the House of Commons, on Thursday. Pharmacists are also being given more powers to dispense medications, such as contraception, as well as taking on referrals from A&E for minor illnesses such as coughs and headaches. Prof Martin Marshall, of the Royal College of GPs, said the announcement on GPs did not amount to a proper plan and would have a "minimal impact", accusing ministers of "lumbering a struggling service with more expectations" without the means to achieve them.
