Yesterday you may well have seen the headlines announcing that from April onwards, GPs will be “made” to offer patients same day appointments for 'urgent' health issues. The implication, which I cannot imagine Wes Streeting is unaware of, is that he is on the side of patients, whereas recalcitrant & possibly even workshy GPs are the problem. A subtle undercurrent of GP-bashing, in other words, just as in previous governments. The headlines omit a crucial aspect of the new GP contract, which this letter in the Times brilliantly highlights. GPs will no longer be able to refer patients for specialist care as they do currently. New mandated "advice and refer" systems are being introduced for all specialist referrals from general practice, supposedly to 'streamline' care (as though GPs aren't highly trained physicians who know when a referral is needed). As anyone waiting desperately for an appointment with a neurologist, oncologist, rheumatologist or orthopaedic surgeon will already know to their cost, currently waiting times can be absolutely horrendous – and this looks horribly like yet another barrier to patients receiving the prompt care they need from a specialist. Already, for example, I am aware of patients with a new diagnosis of major, life-changing diseases such as multiple sclerosis, motor neurone disease or lupus having to wait many heartbreaking months to see a specialist for the first time. That is simply not right. It is a national scandal. If Wes Streeting’s aim is to massage the waiting list figures so that it ‘looks’ as though he’s improving care for NHS patients (while actually keeping patients away from doctors via a tortuous saga of ‘pathway navigators’ and other hoops that only create more delays) this would be an excellent way to do to.

Thank you so much to Dr Hugh Savage for raising funds for us by running the Bath Half Marathon on 15 March! If you would like to support Hugh, and the Cameron Fund, please visit our JustGiving page justgiving.com/campaign/camer…

Measles cases by year. 2020: 13 2021 : 49 2022: 100 2023: 59 2025: 2,000 and counting.

The largest COVID study to date — covering nearly four years of data and 29 million people — delivers a clear result. Out of the sample, 23 million were vaccinated and 6 million were not. Among the vaccinated, the risk of dying from COVID was 74% lower, with ZERO increase in deaths from any other cause. Of course, none of this will change the minds of anti-vaxxers. They will blame the researchers, politics, or even Ukraine. And that’s not a joke — people with anti-vaccine attitudes are significantly more likely to believe that “NATO provoked” the russian war against Ukraine.

@TonyChalcroft @RoryStewartUK The end of No Time To Die alluded to the You Only Live Twice book. Have him miraculously surviving against the odds when everyone thinks he’s dead, then he returns as he did in the Man With The Golden Gun Book.

@RoryStewartUK They should go back to the beginning, set it in the 1960’s and tell the story of how Naval Commander James Bond became 007, they could even have him receiving the Aston Martin DB5.

Just go earlier in his life - he may have been getting on a bit anyway….

It can be difficult for people to #TalkMoney. If you’re not sure where to begin @MoneyHelperUK can help you start the conversation bit.ly/47CNs9L

@SKinnock Your ‘modern service’ stinks. And GPs pay all practice expenses including staff wages. They don’t just trouser the income they earn. We need qualified Doctors not whoever wants to have a go.

Facts vs Fiction : GP Partners earnings Information shared publicly on GP income is based on Tax returns which includes all income sources not just NHS High earning GPs are the exception the median is the real income PM earnings 2023/24 just 1.5% of GPs earn the same as the PM

Helpful to explain what £169/patient/year pays for (this is £40 less than 2015 in real terms funding & only £123 is patient care) 380million appts in GP practices - half with GPs But there is more to General Practice than just appts @wesstreeting

Tom You have always had the respect and true traditions of the game and that’s how it should be We’ll said 👏👏👏

How many Drs who qualified the same time as me ever thought they’d see this in their lifetime? Isn’t science (and aren’t experts) great?

Hillary Clinton: "When I hear people like Kennedy talking about getting back to a time where we aren't vaccinating, we're drinking raw milk -- yeah, and people didn't live! I mean, this is so crazy, it's so wrongheaded, it's so shortsighted and it's going to cause deaths ... it already is costing lives"
