Can expanding the 'Advice & Guidance' scheme, incentivising GPs to offer tests & treatments on site or locally rather than refer patients immediately to hospital offer a way to reduce waitng lists & improve patient experiences of the NHS?
My local surgery has just built extra (physical) capacity to offer expanded treatments/tests; other surgeries will be doing the same.
More investment in GP practices makes more sense than some other policies!
