Statement by Dr Michelle Drage on the EU referendum result

"From London's viewpoint the decision of voters outside our city is going to compound all the challenges we have been faced with and continue to try to manage across the Capital.

"Now, more than ever, we need to ensure we have the strongest general practice service targeted to help those in most need.

"At a time when the financial stability and sustainability of general practice is under immense pressure, the campaign pledge of an extra £350m per year invested into the NHS would make a huge difference. And we will take a close interest in how that is delivered."

Dr Michelle Drage, Chief Executive, Londonwide LMCs.
