Description:
According to the latest GP Patient Survey, nearly two-thirds of patients seldom or never manage to consult with their preferred doctor, with one in six patients failing to secure an appointment altogether during their last attempt. In an effort to enhance accessibility, family doctors were previously instructed to offer appointments on Saturdays. However, the British Medical Association opposed the contract, which stipulated weekend access without guaranteeing availability at patients' regular practices. <br/><br/>Private GPs witnessing a surge in demand have begun charging additional fees for evening and weekend consultations. Mr. Harrison highlighted pharmacies' potential to alleviate pressure on GPs and improve patient access to healthcare, emphasizing the necessity of increased funding. Projections indicate that with adequate funding, the Pharmacy First scheme could potentially release up to 30 million GP appointments annually, equivalent to a month's worth of work.

Prosecutors say the meeting involved Trump, his former lawyer Michael Cohen, and American Media Inc. chairman David Pecker. They argue it shows Trump's involvement in an alleged criminal conspiracy to violate campaign finance laws. The judge also ruled that Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal can testify, as can Cohen.")
