The GP committee at DAUK are shocked to hear that Matt Hancock has never visited a GP surgery to talk to front line staff since the pandemic started. Considering the sheer amount of hard work and dedication primary care has done to undergo a transformation to continue providing safe care, the expectations of a demanding vaccine programme, and the constant negativity directed towards primary care in the media – this is unacceptable, considering how easy it is to arrange a zoom meeting anywhere in the country.
If you feel this is just another example of how disconnected those making the decisions are to those working on the frontline, please sign the attached letter.
