Cuts Cuts Cuts

Despite all the political hype there just isn’t enough money in the NHS. Only today I heard that our local health authority is millions in debt and can’t invest any more in our local health services. This has been a real blow to local GPs as they have been desperate to improve care to their patients. We have been planning on expanding our services in our surgery but with this latest bad news we won’t be able to. This is happening all across the UK and looks set to continue. GPs are very keen to move forward and embrace the latest medical advances but we simply can’t. We feel as though we are being held back through no fault of our own. This lack of investment in what we do is short sighted as it will only mean that more patients will end up in hospital which costs far more in the long run. How frustrating!
