A statement of intent from the Prime Minister, the first speech of his second term at a Birmingham GP surgery, and a promise to fund and transform the NHS by 2020 into a seven day operation.Diseases don't work weekdays nine to five, so neither can we.
Those election accusations 1 that he would cut and privatize the NHS untrue argues the PM, in fact he says he'll fund eight billion pounds a year to provide free health care wherever and whenever it's needed.
Today as we speak about 7.5 million people have access eight in the morning to eight in the evening, seven days a week to a GP, that will be 18 million by the end of this year, and we want to have that available for everybody by the end of the parliament, and that is in our plans and in the money that we are providing, and i'm confident we'll achieve it.
The surgery is in a partnership 2 that was given funding for high tech general practice by the PM's challenge fund.
One thing you do notice is that there are very few people waiting in the waiting room, this is one reason the contact room called the health hub here 70,000 patients across 15 GP surgeries are dealt with in a new way, this is another reason, the app helps connecting, manage those appointments, a new thing here, and lastly this Skype consultations 3 mentioned by the Prime Minister, part of many types of technology that the Prime Minister says will transform the NHS, starting with GP surgeries, but is he raising expectations too high with this promise of seven day service and where is the fund?
Nurses could go on strike at the seven day plans and even the man in charge of NHS England sounded a note of caution with the PM in the audience.
We'll also need careful discipline facing our ambition to expand the services, be it improve cancer care, mental health, primary care all those things we want to do, including seven day services.
Meanwhile patients are adjusting to this new world of virtual GPs, but challenges remained on GP recruitments.
Workload 4 is a major issue and i think what we found is by scaling up, you can start to use different health care professionals to sort of service some of the exact issues of pharmacies 5, introducing nurses and into the model as well, not every patient needs to see a GP, but by introducing other health care professionals, maybe that will help address some of the workload issues.
The PM also told Sky news there was no need for another top down NHS reorganization, but it's now raising big expectations about health for the public, such things far easier to promise than to deliver, but that is his challenge.
