Emma speaks to Labour’s shadow health and social care secretary Wes Streeting about the party’s plans for general practice if it wins next week’s general election. Mr Streeting discusses what Labour would do to address the GP jobs crisis – which has seen thousands of GPs struggling to find work – and why Labour believes general practice should receive a greater share of the NHS budget. He also explains his views on the GP partnership model, how he hopes to avert possible collective action by GPs this summer and why he thinks general practice has a lot to look forward to if Labour forms the next government.
