Helen Morgan MP challenged Rishi Sunak in the House of Commons this week over the strain on Shropshire doctors.
MP for North Shropshire Helen Morgan raised the issue of GP pressure as NHS statistics show doctors in Shropshire are now seeing 400 more patients each than they did in 2016.In the House of Commons, she asked:"The Government has not only broken its promise on new hospitals, it has also broken its pledge of 6,000 more doctors, with the number of qualified GPs having actually fallen.
"Places across the country like East Sussex, Devon, Cambridgeshire and Hampshire have also seen the number of qualified GPs fall. In response, Mr Sunak said:"The facts are this - there are 2,200 more GPs in general practice today, there are 15,000 more doctors in the NHS, and there are 30,000 more nurses.
Nationally, the Liberal Democrats are calling for 8,000 more GPs and the legal right to see a GP within 24 hours if urgent and seven days for other appointments.
