Britons say being able to see a GP should be a top NHS priority - (PA Wire)

GPs say they “can’t carry on doing more with less” as a survey finds being able to see a doctor is the top concern Britons have about the NHS.

Polling done for the Health Foundation by Ipsos on NHS priorities found 38 per cent of people wanted it to be easier to get a GP appointment, above improving A&E wait times (33 per cent), improving NHS staff retention by making working conditions better (29 per cent) and improving public wait times (27 per cent).
