Campaigners warn Britons are missing out on vital care as the NHS is 'erecting barriers' that limit opportunities to see a family doctor face-to-face.
Campaigners warn Britons missing out on vital care as NHS is 'erecting barriers'The NHS is discriminating against elderly patients with one in six GP practices now taking bookings online only, a study suggests.
Its poll of 1,200 members reveals 76 per cent have experienced difficulties in obtaining a face-to-face GP appointment. Meanwhile, 18 per cent have gone to A&E after failing to secure an urgent GP appointment and 31 per cent have resorted to private healthcare. One in six practices – 16 per cent – are now operating an internet-only request process for GP appointments, the survey suggests.
'So, it is natural that, in desperation, large numbers of older people are turning to private health care or A&E departments.'
