What worries me across general practice and across secondary care now is that access is becoming so difficult that it is driving up the cost of private care and that we are very quickly going to see two-tier healthcare.\u201d\n\nShe told i News there were fears the situation would become \u201csimilar to that in dentistry\u201d: \u201cWhereby if you have a GP surgery that is able to provide NHS care then that\u2019s great \u2013 but that will not be of the same quality that is provided privately. And you can already see a huge growth in the numbers of both primary and secondary private providers.\n\n\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/inews.co.uk\/news\/health\/nhs-doctors-people-left-without-gp-decade-1867919?ico=in-line_link\">I am most worried for our elderly patients and those with multiple health issues<\/a> who really need that continuity from the same GP.\u201d\n\nRead the full news <a href=\"https:\/\/inews.co.uk\/news\/health\/gp-healthcare-two-tier-system-private-providers-nhs-gaps-1874080\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DAUK&#8217;s GP lead Dr Lizzie Toberty has warned that &#8220;we are very quickly going to see two-tier healthcare.\u201d Speaking to i News, Dr Toberty said&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[65],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1050","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-dauk-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dauk.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1050","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dauk.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dauk.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dauk.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dauk.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1050"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dauk.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1050\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dauk.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1050"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dauk.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1050"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dauk.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1050"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
