Back to GP's & patient numbers. Apparently this CCG [Clinical Commissioning Group]area have only 82 GP's for 200,000 patients i.e. 2440 approx. per GP & they are stretched.
When I was working as a District Nurse for part of that area the patient ratio was 1 to 2500 patients approx. That was without Practice Nurses, Health Care Assts. & a plethora of support staff .
They saw more patients, worked longer hours , did night calls & w/e on rotas & found time to undertake sessional work in hospital specialities that clinically interested them.
It probably is that the NHS provides more & patients expectations are higher with more dependency rates & m ore complex conditions but "me thinks they doth protest too much" [ paraphrased].
