And the story we ran in the past week was about a warning from a think tank, the Nuffield Trust, that a new NHS workforce plan needs to make GPs the fastest growing clinical group within the health service.
particularly to deliver the shift of care out of hospital that the government wants to see, and key policy aims such as creating neighbourhoods, as well as to meet the demands of a rapidly changing and aging population.
So
We'll find out soon whether the government is listening.
that number being so vast, forty nine thousand, you'd think that that factors in
a lot of attrition, numbers of GPs leaving the workforce, and also some issues around the full time commitment of GPs and the fact that GPs are increasingly working less than full time, even if, you know, less than full time often amounts to what most people would consider a full time job.
I assume that figure probably needs some interpretation 'cause obviously forty nine thousand more GPs is a is an absolutely colossal
Number.
We've mentioned West Streeting resigning.
But just before he resigned, the government set out its legislative agenda for the next Parliament in the King's speech.
One of the parts of that was a new health bill, which sets out the legislation for many of the things that Streeting championed in his time as Secretary of State for Health and Social Care.
Um so Emma, you've been looking at that.
What does the bill cover?
That sounds like a big deal for general practice.
What what does it say about that?
interesting, isn't it, on a macro level, back in twenty twelve with Andrew Lansley's reforms, the uh the big concern was all about he's handing over power to other people, responsibility to other people.
He doesn't want to take responsibility for anything.
the health secretary won't be able to be blamed for anything at all.
Yeah.
And now this, it's all about, you know, the health secretary's this is a massive power grab, taking control of everything.
