He is impressing me so far In NI it is 5.4% of total health budget spent in GP, and we see over 10% of the population for all and everything every week It really is no surprise that access is very, very difficult and we are nowhere near the proactive, preventive service needed

👇I am so pleased to read this statement; it provides hope. Too many of our brilliant young doctors have quietly quit; disillusioned by a system that feels like it despises them. For those of us who teach and train them we have also become discouraged and downcast. #NHS #Believe

Health is clearly devolved, but we need you to have significant influence in NI too. With only 5.4% of NHS budget spent in GP here (lowest of all nations by a mile), we are quite literally depriving a huge number of people access to the most fundamental part of health care

Thank you Eimear Darcy for the gift of this mug with a message that I so believe in. Primary care & GPs are central but I also agree: “Singular clinician benevolence isn’t enough”; we do need systems and structures and a new Primary Care strategy for NI before it is too late

The loss of support that was provided by the Welcome Organisation to those with the greatest needs in our community is devastating. I hope a solution can be found soon; to not do so would be unconscionable.
