Consultant physician at the heart of the 21st century community - AH

I think, I think the thing is, now, that GPs have become almost Community Physicians, they’ve become Consultant Physicians in the Community, a-, and things are really complicated now… I do think ten minute consultations are outdated now for what we do, and I think they should be longer consultations.  I think fifteen minutes should be the norm, but if you have fifteen minutes you see less people, and you’ve got to work out what you are going to do with the demand… Unless the demand is sorted out, then I think it’s a problem.
