NHS: Prime Minister David Cameron unveils longer GP opening hours — after slashing budgets and hospitals
Tory PM David Cameron announces plans for longer GP opening hours with a GP Access Fund amid demands to reinstate funding to other cuts-hit services

Tory PM David Cameron announced plans yesterday for longer GP opening hours — after his government has slashed community care services and closed hospitals.

The posh PM suggested his plans to make GPs work longer and offer advice over the internet and phone will plug the service gap.

He insisted a £50 million “GP Access Fund” will mean 7.5 million people will be able to see their doctor at night or during weekends.
