Welsh Government All Set To Extend GP Opening Hours

While there is fierce opposition from doctors on increasing the GP surgery opening hours, it has been revealed that Health Minister Lesley Griffiths is very much keen to implement the same. It was even during the Labour's 2011 Assembly election campaign that the issue was raised and it was committed that it would be done in future.

"Because of the central importance of accessible GP care services we will require GPs to make surgeries more accessible to working people, so that they can access local GP services in the evenings and Saturday mornings", said the manifesto.

There were reports indicating that government us trying to make doctors agree on the same, though the later was furious by claiming that it might also affect recruitment.

Moreover, Ms Griffiths made it clear that there would be proper process of making appointments all the more easier for working people. There is need for altering the working hours of doctors keeping in mind the need of patients, with mostly patients seeking evening appointments.

Furthermore, she has made it clear that discussions would continue with the BMA, GPC Wales and Health Boards to make sure that best possible care is being given to patients. With doctors showing their dissent, it would be worth seeing how things would proceed from here on.
