Long wait to see a GP worsens A&E crisis, says MP

The MP for Exeter has spoken in the Commons about the problems local residents are having in getting appointments with their GPs.


Ben Bradshaw was taking part in a debate on the crisis facing hospital accident and emergency departments.. following the news that waiting times had failed to meet Government targets earlier this year.

Mr Bradshaw said he'd had several complaints from people in Exeter who were having to wait weeks to see a doctor.. and says it's not surprising they're turning to A&E instead.
