Could the ‘Family Doctor’ be back?

MP welcomes plans to bring back the family doctor

The Government’s Plan for Change to bring back the family doctor means GPs in Penistone and Stocksbridge will be able to spend more time treating patients under Labour’s proposed reforms. The changes to general practice will also provide the largest boost to GP funding in years, and reduce outdated targets to enable more face-to-face appointments and slash red tape.
