The relationship between individual patients and their GP is a fundmental and valued part of our health care system. This will not change as many patients want continuity of care.
If a patient wishes to see their GP now and they are not available - visit, holiday, training etc - they can choose to wait or see another GP in the practice. This will remain the same.
