A senior health official has said GP services are under “significant pressure” after concerns were raised about difficulty accessing a practice in Johnstone.
Christine Laverty, chief officer of Renfrewshire Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP), said she was “aware of issues” patients were having but highlighted the challenges surrounding retention and recruitment of doctors.
Speaking at the integration joint board (IJB) on Friday, she said they were looking at ways of supporting GPs in a bid to ease their workload but added it was a “work in progress”.
