Ben Everitt, the MP for Milton Keynes North, has welcomed news that there are 104 more doctors, nurses and other patient care staff working in general practice in Milton Keynes.
This includes roles such as dispensers, health care assistants, phlebotomists, pharmacists, physiotherapists, podiatrists, therapists and others.
Ben Everitt MP said: "I am a passionate campaigner for better healthcare in our city so I'm delighted there are 104 more general practice staff working in Milton Keynes.
"Healthcare affects every single one of us so I will continue to fight hard to secure more funding for our hospital and local GP practices across MK."
The Plan for Patients set out the government’s commitment to improving general practice and using transparent data to inform and empower patients. A modelling approach has enabled estimates of staff at the level of parliamentary constituencies to be given for the first time.
Data published by the government shows the number of Full Time Equivalent doctors, nurses and other direct patient care staff in general practice in September 2019 and September 2022, and the change over that period, for every constituency in England.
