They are going to casualty because they can't see their GP,it starts at the bottom end of the care chain
Anything to back this up?

I'll go back and find the link,the figures are a lot worse than under labour and are an all time low after 7 years or so under the tories,i'm not trying to make a political point as i vote for no-one until Corbyn buggers offI know you used to be a nurse and I'm far from a Tory but come on now, this started under the second Blair ministry and the restructuring from Milburn..
I work closely with the NHS, have done for a number of years and this fundamentally is a narrative from the Blair regime, turning the whole system in to corporations... Budgets are forecasts, they haven't got one right for 20+ years, just shifting shortfalls and laying blame elsewhere....
Something like 2.5m additional visits to A&E last year compared to the year before. If the figures are correct that it costs £124 just to be seen that's £310m minimum. So before you consider anything else it costs £310m to stand still.
Can you tell me how the government are responsible for that?
If i can find the link i will,i have discussed this several times with my own practise and nursing friends,patients with GP type problems are now going to casualty.My practise no longer lets you book appts to see the drs,it's call at 8 am and hope for the bestAnything to back this up?
How many walk in centres have the Tories closed? At least 20% by 2013, God knows how many by now.

I didnt vote Tory, but I tend to think that all of the bad things mentioned in your first paragraph would have also happened under a Labour, Labour coalition or Tory goalition government.
