Comment on the launch of the NHS Long Term Plan

We approached GP Online with a comment on the launch of the NHS Long Term Plan. Dr Michelle Drage said: "The Government's decision to prioritise investment in general practice is an important step towards easing the pressures created by decades of under-funding. If the NHS is to be sustainable it needs GPs and practice teams to be properly resourced tp do what they do best: keeping people healthy in their communities, so fewer of them need hospital care.

"London's GPs must now see investment going directly into frontline care, rather than having it split up into different funds with bureaucratic application processes, as has too often been the case in the past".
