Leeds man waiting over a year to see his GP as NHS reaches breaking point

A Leeds man who has been waiting over a year to see his GP has spoken of his anger, while other residents have spoken of their frustrations over "disgusting" NHS waiting times.

lt has previously been reported how NHS services across the country, including here in Yorkshire are reaching breaking point. Leeds Live visited the city centre to speak to a range of shoppers about their experiences.

The Health Foundation claimed the average waiting time in the UK was more than two weeks and that was all the way back in 2019. Now as the population ages, there are more and more online appointments instead of face-to-face. Along with a lack of new GPs and surgeries across the country no longer taking online bookings, it’s becoming increasingly more difficult to see your doctor.
