In their ‘Will walk-in GP clinics deliver one million extra appointments?’ yesterday, BBC Scotland were keen to direct the response with information like the above revealing increasing demand on GPs.

They have not mentioned that the rate in NHS England is 2 220 patients per GP, a shocking 32% higher!

Other reasons why they’re lucky to be working in Scotland:

GPs get 33% more per patient* in Scotland than in England and the funding trend is up in Scotland, down in England

Jackie Baillie apparently blowing a big bubble of lies as Scotland leads the rest of the UK on winter preparations with more flu vaccines delivered, more GPs, more nurses and more beds

The scale of the drift to privatisation – Nearly 100% of GPs in Scotland work in the NHS but only 66% do so in England

GPs in poor parts of England are paid £5,500 less a year than in wealthy areas but in Scotland get a £10 000 incentive
