GP crisis - We'll see more under doctored areas
A shortage of GPs in Scotland will lead to greater health inequalities, says BMA Scotland GP chair.

More than 850 GPs responded to the BMA Scotland GP wellbeing survey.

The results showed just 5% believed their practice was in a sustainable position, with almost a third (30%) saying it was in a precarious position.
