Did you know?
Since 2018 over 28 GP practices have closed in Northern Ireland meaning the remaining practices are having to deal with more patients.

General practice in Northern Ireland needs to be properly funded.
We know you deserve better than this.

Did you know?
General practice in Northern Ireland only gets 5.4% of the whole health budget. We see or speak to over 200,000 patients a week.
More funding would mean we could:
• Train and hire more GPs
• Deliver the services you require
• Make it easier to get the appointments you need
