NHSE Board - General Practice Total focus on access to AN appt with additional role focus No discussion about retention of GPs or actual GP appts Excellent question about whether there was any ARRS planning of roles with no answer Whilst GP leaving, practices close - No idea 🤷🏻‍♂️

@Jeremy_Hunt @andrealeadsom @NHSEngland @DHSCgovuk @hmtreasury @BMA_GP @PatientsAssoc @theRCN @CAM_Paddison @wesstreeting @PreetKGillMP @libdemdaisy England’s GPs see c1.39 million voters every day. What do they think of access to NHS dentistry? In 1990, there were only a handful of private dentists. Look at it now. You could be about to witness the intentional predetermined ideological removal of NHS General Practice

@Jeremy_Hunt I genuinely like @andrealeadsom But can she overcome @NHSEngland or @DHSCgovuk or @hmtreasury? Desperate to clawback whatever funds/underspend they can to guarantee pre-election tax cuts? Therein lies the conundrum If not, @BMA_GP knows what comes next - but do @PatientsAssoc?

@DHSCgovuk @NHSEngland @VictoriaAtkins @andrealeadsom @hmtreasury How much power/leverage do ministers actually have? What about @hmtreasury? @Jeremy_Hunt knows more about GP than most - he oversaw the HSC report into future of GP https://t.co/uYCewVUYIV It has the answers! (Clue: it’s not Stocktakes nor @NHSEngland access plans) 👇

The @Conservatives, @DHSCgovuk & @NHSEngland have decided, rather than being the ‘stepping stone’ year to signal safety, stability, and hope - 2024 will instead signal reduced patient access to GP services as well as likely closures of GP practices across the country. 🧵👇

Is there anyway to see weighted list sizes at individual Practice level? I can’t believe this data is so hard to find

UPDATE HNY! 💫 We have 500 completed Practice Finance Survey responses. 1300 practices have opened it! 📨 It takes 15 mins to complete. ⏱️ It would be AMAZING if we can get 10% of practices before the survey closes WEDS 23:59 That’s 650 - We can do it #TeamGP!💪

Astonishing. Since @TEDTalks posted my talk about 'What Happens As We Die?' to their home page yesterday, it's already clocked up 15k views. People DO want better information - so please pass it on. I'm delighted that TED has chosen to spread this idea.

The poor reliability, frequent crashes and slow processes of @emisweb are impacting patient care. This has to improve.
