Patients who have visited their GP more than once in past years ‘have never seen same medic’, finds poll

NEARLY half of adults who have visited their GP more than once in the last couple of years have never seen or rarely see the same medic, new polling finds.

The study also found that of this cohort nearly one five, some 18 per cent, say they just haven’t seen the same doctor in the past few years.

Ministers are being warned that the family doctor is a “thing of the past” as different professionals step in to deliver treatment.
