Over 75's to be given a named GP

The video discusses the issues with the current GP contract, which many doctors find burdensome due to increased bureaucracy and paperwork, leading to more patients using A&E services. In response, Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has introduced a new GP contract aimed at reducing red tape and improving care for the elderly. The new contract makes GPs personally responsible for patients aged 75 and over, offering same-day consultations and monitoring emergency admissions. While the British Medical Association supports the changes, Labour criticizes them as superficial. The Royal College of General Practitioners is optimistic about the contract's potential to improve care.
