This, I believe, is creating a big increase in demand for A and E.

I also think that the figures for NHS management reveal a lot.

Salaried GPs employed directly by PCTs earn between £53,781 to £81,158, dependent on, among other factors, length of service and experience.

of course some earn more , they do extra work or are partners in a clinic

the increase in demand for A&E, will be partly because the tories have shut A and E units in some hospitals

your wrong about home visits, my wife has done home visits, hours for gp's some start 8:30 and finish at 6:00pm.
