Reactions as figures reveal shocking patient to GP ratio in England

Dear @DailyMailUK – if you employed some proper journalists instead of the group of right wing apologists you have you would report that the Tories have been in power 12 years and that GP numbers have fallen every year since the government pledged to raise them by 50k in 2015. pic.twitter.com/rxb1Qv9o7m

It’s exhausting isn’t it
– devalue the work of the General Practitioner
– promote quackery over good medicine
– actively slander the profession
– gaslight part time workers in primary care
– and then, THEN ask “where have all the GPs gone?”

A few months ago the Daily Mail claimed GPs were lazy and workshy. I wonder where this finite and overworked group of people have gone. https://t.co/g66iaYbGqj

@DailyMailUK what do you mean, “where have all the GPS gone”? You demonised them, made them work excessively,didn’t pay them properly, didn’t listen to their concerns,reduced funding for surgeries & then called for #Brexit. Yes you. You promote the Tories. You reap what you sow. https://t.co/jXnTm51KFW

"Where have the GPs that we have been constantly slagging off over face to face appointments through a global pandemic gone? Buggered if we know." https://t.co/0BWICyIiOl

We have been warning of the #GPCrisis for many years – nobody listened!

The working environment is so toxic many GPs are burning out, retiring early, young Drs are not joining

The solutions will take years & years
