British male GP talking to senior man in surgery.
A THIRD of people from the North West cannot name their GP, a new report has said.
The State of Britain’s GP Services Report has reported that pressure on services mean more patients never see the same doctor.
The report by AKEA Life, a private healthcare provider, examined the experiences of 1,000 patients around the UK.
It found that two- thirds of people in the North West never see the same GP, one in three were unable to name their doctor, while a fifth were seeing up to three different GPs per year.
