NHS: GP Salaries

Debate between Baroness Jolly and Lord Laming

Monday 26th January 2015 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Jolly]

I suspect that the French GPs do not have such a competent union.

[Lord Laming (CB)]

Does the Minister agree that sooner or later we will have to tackle the issue of developing a comprehensive primary care service in this country that operates for 24 hours, around the clock and seven days a week, which is a much bigger issue than GP salaries?

[Baroness Jolly]

Community and primary services are being looked at in the round by NHS England with a view to seeing what changes need to be implemented to effect, I guess, the way in which we work in modern times.
