Top GPs have insisted remote appointments are not ‘substandard or lazy’ despite admitting doctors are struggling to provide safe care for patients.
The Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) yesterday said they were ‘outraged’ at criticism over the lack of face-to-face appointments.
But they acknowledged the service was in crisis and that GPs were more likely to make mistakes and accidentally harm patients – blaming a shortage of doctors.
