Forth Valley NHS has revealed proposals to help GPs cope with the rising demand for their services across Falkirk.
Health board chiefs say the plans and investment will help ensure doctors' surgeries can adapt to cope with 12,000 new homes that will be built in Forth Valley over the next five years.
The high number of new households - along with an ageing population - is expected to put massive pressure on the area's GPs, some of whom are already unable to routinely accept new patients.
