Ele Ludemann: Primary failures pressure secondary services


GPs are warning of a collapse in primary healthcare:

The comments from the advocacy group General Practitioners Aotearoa (GPA) were made following revelations in the Herald that patients were queuing from 6am outside a GP and urgent care clinic in Ōtara.
