Keir Starmer has been slammed for suggesting that people with internal bleeding should not have to go to a GP for a referral. During an interview with BBC journalist Laura Kuenssberg, Starmer was asked about reforms in the NHS and the changes that his party would implement.
Starmer proposed allowing patients to make self-referrals to ease the workload and paperwork of practicing doctors. During the interview he mentioned a number of instances where self proposals could be beneficial such as people with back pain and those with internal bleeding who need further tests.
