Yes, I think the dept of health does subsidise the private GP patients. I got my Covid vaccines at GP, I paid nothing; The practice nurse takes bloods, but I don’t pay for the blood tests. And so on. The GP facilitates the dept of healths screening and monitoring and early prevention policies.
Yes I am but don’t expect those who complain about private GP fees yet expect instant access; gold standard service & unlimited time for their appointment to agree with this.
Why do you suppose that it’s private not public patients who have most difficulty registering with a GP in large parts of the country now ?.
