Point one: please stand up for your views. I'm fed up responding to "anonymous".
Point two: demands for GPs do differ a great deal depending on age and deprivation. Some of this is already reflected in capitation formulae. Whether it's the right amount is an endless debate, but should be informed by the best evidence.
But point 3, a vision of hope. We know a number of practices in the Patient Access movement are providing a superlative level of access and clinical quality in very deprived areas, and have been able to take this on despite the pressures. It's the system - the practice system, which can be so quickly and so simply transformed.
