High Demand for GP Services – August 2022

Posted by:  - Posted on:

We are currently experiencing high demand for enquiries, appointments and treatment, as well as still experiencing COVID absence and other staff sickness. This means we currently have a shortage of clinical and non-clinical  staff, appointments and we are not able to find locum staff to help.

Non-urgent appointments are currently waiting up to two weeks to be seen. Last week we managed over 1850 phone calls and 492 Econsults.

We are sorry for the inconvenience caused and we are working hard to resolve the situation as best we can.
