GP registration continues to be an issue for many communities across the city and there is work being done by different services in the city to improve GP access, particularly in light of the access issues surrounding the Covid-19 vaccine.

Know your rights’ which has the following text in 9 different languages on a 2 page document- Everyone in the UK has the right to free care from a GP.
