GPs get new contracts with more money. Then in no time GP services taper off and waiting times increase once more.

Lots of GP services around here are now payable or have been withdrawn. So people with medical problems do what they perceive as the next option.... they turn up at Accident and Emergency. When it's not an accident or emergency.

"At the door" triage is what is needed. Don't even let them in the door if their case does not warrant it.

Plus it's time that access to the NHS, except in real emergency cases, was restricted to those entitled to it unless full payment was arranged and actually collected.

Training more nurses and doctors, tying them to a minimum period of service to the NHS, would help too.
