Impact of Keir Starmer on Long-Term Healthcare: Keir Starmer's proposed GP reforms could lead to longer waiting lists and delayed treatments, but addressing GP issues like pensions and admin time could improve patient care in the long term.
Keir Starmer, the shadow health secretary, could have a significant impact on healthcare in the long term despite not having a major influence in the short term. His proposed reforms to the GP system, such as allowing patients to refer themselves directly to specialists, could potentially lead to longer waiting lists and delayed treatments for some patients, according to the Doctors Association UK. GPs argue that they are best equipped to handle undifferentiated health issues and ensure that those who truly need hospital care receive it. To address their current issues, they suggest lifting the punitive pensions cap and introducing paid admin time.
