    'We can agree that general practice is broken. This is due to chronic underfunding of a service that provides 90% of NHS contacts for about 9% of the budget. The current system allows most patients to access their GP within 1-2 days, compared to waiting weeks pre-pandemic.'

    'GPs have not been “missing in action”, as J Meirion Thomas claims (Comment, May 15). Rather, they switched to a mandatory total triage model in March 2020 to protect patients from catching Covid in the waiting room.'

    'The 2nd factor was the inexorable rise of litigation culture, which meant that every appointment, however trivial, had to be meticulously documented. This signalled the end of the 5 minute consultation, which was the only way we could deal with the volume of patients presenting'
