#GPsAreOnYourSide
To All Our Valued Patients
We want you to know that we hear your concerns and understand how difficult it can be to get a GP appointment right now. Behind the scenes, we are working tirelessly to improve our services for our patients, but the challenges we’re facing are very real.
- Over 28 GP practices have closed in Northern Ireland since 2018.
- GP surgeries are seeing a high volume of patients every week with only 5.4% of the health budget.
These issues directly affect how quickly and efficiently we can care for you. We’re doing everything we can, but general practice in Northern Ireland needs proper funding to meet your needs.
Thank you for your patience, your support, and for standing with us.
