11:51 am
no one confronts him and i'm sick and tired of it." lots more on the website and app but that is all your sport for now. breaking news. in the past hour it has been a noted ambulance workers across south—east england will strike from tomorrow lunchtime. members of the unite union will fork out at 12 noon until ten at night. the action comes after workers at south east coast ambulance service rejected the government 25% pay offer and one off payment of at least £1655 to top up last year's salary. a spokesperson for the department of health and social care said the deal on the table was a fair and generous one. gp surgeries
11:52 am
in england will receive £2110 million to improve the technology they use to improve the technology they use to communicate with patients. it's part of a wider plan from the government, which is expected later this week, to address the problems many people face when trying to make an on—the—day appointment. labour and some gps have said much more help is needed to ease pressure on primary care. getting more phone lines is fine, that's ok, giving us £250 is ok, we need that investment. but actually we needed that investment a long time ago. in 2019 we were promised 6000 extra gps. now 825 gps less at full—time who are not working, and in some patches, sally, we have got 250,000 patients per one gp. and that means that the demand is so huge. well, the announcement comes after the conservatives lost more than 1,000 councillors in local elections across the country last week.
11:53 am
0ur political correspondent, peter saull, says issues with healthcare are likely to have played a part in those losses. no doubt one of the many complaints they will have heard from voters during the campaign was just how difficult it is to get a gp appointment. the chances are, if you try to see your doctor recently, you will have been involved in the eight o'clock in the morning scramble on the phone. so ministers are really trying to address that fundamental problem this morning by putting this extra money out there which will go towards more digital systems that they hope will mean that you won't get an engaged tone when you are on the phone. instead, you will either be put in a queue get a call back at some point later in the day. the hope is, too, that better digital online booking systems will relieve the pressure on the phones. but many gp surgeries already have these kinds of systems in place. labour says this doesn't address the main problem, which is of course a lack of gps. we may see more on that
11:54 am
in the plan that you mentioned expected later this week. but a clear attempt from the government this morning to try to put the attention on delivery, after that chastening set of local election results last week. and we are expecting to hear from the prime minister later today for the first time since the extent of those losses became clear. another part of the government's plan to relieve pressure on gps will be to encourage more patients to use their local pharmacy for minor ailments. but bbc research has found that the number of community chemists is falling. england lost 160 of them in the last two years, and the total number is at its lowest since 2015. some pharmacists are warning that, without immediate support, more will close their doors permanently. our health editor hugh pym reports. i'm a second generation pharmacist. my mum and dad set up the pharmacy in 1982 so we'vejust had our a0 year anniversary. preparing for the morning rush in birmingham.
11:55 am
i hear lovely stories about my dad and how he helped so many patients when they couldn't get support and advice from their gps. but for the first time in their history this pharmacy made a loss. thank you. staff shortages, higher costs and more people wanting help is making life difficult for pharmacists like sanj. we would love to help support the government, support the nhs, help gps, but we can't do it with the financial constraints that we're on. we can't give the advice, we can't be there for our patients. and for some of those patients, speaking to their local chemist is a lifeline. they've dealt with my sister's meds, my meds, my mum's meds, the whole family. and if i've ever had a problem, couldn't get into a doctor's, i've come here and they've helped me out a lot _ don't go to the hospital, go to your gp. don't go to your gp, go to the pharmacy. so if you haven't got the pharmacy, where do you go? i really don't know what to suggest. we are full with deliveries, so i could try and get it out but it
11:56 am
would be the middle of next week. tough to make those calls? yes, very. there's more and more people wanting delivery and we just can't get them all in. it's not right, but what can we do? they've got the potential to do so much more at a point when the nhs overall is under such strain. those representing pharmacists in england say real terms government funding has been cut, though they hope a new plan will improve things. what everyone learnt during the pandemic was one of the two places that will stay open is a pharmacy, so lots more people are coming for advice and support that we're not paid to provide. and actually what we've been saying to ministers is we're part of the solution because we can provide access. have we got a new prescription for this aspirin? 300 miles away in the scottish borders, a solution's already in place. it's a formal contract with the scottish government. unlike in england, pharmacies get paid for every consultation and some can prescribe
11:57 am
medication for patients. i used to have an english pharmacy, but i sold it and all the outlets we have now are in scotland. the scottish contract is much more patient focused. they like to get a problem sorted as quick as they can. seeing the gp is long, laborious process here and the pharmacists are able to do certain things the gp would have just done anyway. yeah, i think it's very important, especially if you're not sure what's wrong with you or something and just feel, should i be bothering the doctor or not? is it a 60 dose, do you use a 60 dose? the department of health said the services pharmacists could provide in england were being increased and extra investment had been announced. the government want pharmacies to take on more of a role in community health care. what's your message to them? i'd hope rishi sunak could understand the situation that we're in. his mother was a pharmacist, father was a gp so they're in health care. they understand the pressures,
11:58 am
they understand the value that we can offer to our communities. would you like him to come here and see for himself? i've love him to come and see, to see what we do, again, how patients feel about what we offer. and actually that this is serious and that the sector is crumbling. it is going to fall down like a stack of dominoes if there's not intervention urgently. stayed with us on bbc news. goodbye for now.
