Dr Michelle Drage responds to the election of Sadiq Khan as Mayor of London
Dr Michelle Drage, the leader of GPs in London calls on Sadiq Khan to use his powers over housing, planning and transport to benefit patients in the Capital:
“London GPs are invested in the success of primary care in the capital and want to work with the Mayor to provide accessible, impactful primary care at the heart of local communities. There are no simple solutions, but there are some basic first steps around community care coordination, public health activity and education. Before pushing through grand plans and schemes for increased access, we must first be confident that we can maintain safe care for patients.
“I look forward to talking to Sadiq about how his responsibility for housing, planning and transport can benefit patients at the point that they begin their NHS journey, in general practice. While he may not hold direct responsibility for health, Sadiq’s actions can have a huge impact in the health of Londoners; housing, transport and planning are all factors impacting on health in the city.”
