If you live in Wales, many of you may not be able to see your GP. Funding across the UK is alarmingly low but the situation is worse in Wales.

Academics estimate that a Welsh practice looking after an identical set of patients compared to an English GP Practice would receive on average 11.2% less funding*.

In order to save General Practice in Wales – this needs to change.
