I found this on Medscape:
GPs 'Reaching Breaking Point'
Latest NHS GP data for England show 4.8 million more appointments delivered in March than February.
BMA GP Committee Chair Dr Richard Vautrey, commented: "So for GPs working 11 or 12-hour days, often leading heroic efforts to protect as many people as possible in their communities against a disease that has had such a devastating impact on all of us, it is heart-breaking and completely demoralising to hear accusations that general practice is not open and that patients are not being seen.
"This narrative, categorically proven wrong by today’s data, is extremely damaging at a time when morale is already reaching rock bottom and many GPs, practice managers and others in the practice workforce are reaching breaking point."
It obviously helps GPs if people realise that there is a backlog, and do not contact them about anything non-essential.
