The gap between need & supply of GP practice consultations
Midlands Decision Support Network - This paper finds that the use of GP practice consultations increases with age and with levels of morbidity. Since 2008, the population has aged and age-specific morbidity levels have increased. This suggests that need for GP practice consultations has grown, whilst the average number of consultations per person has reduced. It is estimated that in 2019, a patient was 12.2% less likely to receive a consultation than a patient with similar needs in 2012. An additional 36.6 million consultations (+13.9%) would have been required to meet needs in 2019 as they were in 2012.PaperMore det...

Young children often have their arm extended upward to hold hands with an adult especially when they are new walkers. If the child stumbles...
