Doctors' Association UK and GP Survival write to Sir Keir Starmer highlighting their 'serious concerns' of the effects Labour proposals will have on patient safety and care.
Dr Ellen Welch, a GP and co-chair of DAUK, said: “If you’ve got ‘internal bleeding’ then you really don’t want to guess which tests you need or which specialists you should self-refer to – you may bleed to death while deciding.
The doctors called on Labour to “avoid reforming, for reforming’s sake” and that the Labour proposals would not improve patient care or produce any cost savings.despite the overall number of GPs reducing since 2015 The groups said it is the partnership model which has enabled this achievement in “highly challenging circumstances, because it is a ‘task and finish’ model rather than a time delineated, ‘clock-on, clock-off’ model”.
