NHS: Tories SILENT on introduction of £145 charges for 40-minute GP consultations

Theresa May has been accused of ignoring news that NHS GP services have begun to charge for consultations.

In some parts of the UK, NHS patients will have to continue to wait four weeks for a seven-minute appointment with a GP unless they are prepared to pay £40 for a ten-minute phone consultation, £80 for a 20-minute face-to-face appointment or £145 for a 40-minute consultation.

The first roll out of this newly-privatised GP service has already been announced in Dorset – but only in the local press.

There has been no comment from the Conservative Party.

Surprise surprise …
