Patients to get seven-day GP access
A plan to give everyone in Greater Manchester seven-day GP access has been approved.
The Greater Manchester Health and Social Care Partnership Board said the move would make 24/7 urgent primary care provision easier for patients to access.
The additional access will revolve around neighbourhood hubs and 'clusters' where weekend and evening appointments will be available.
The board said it hopes the plans will reduce pressure on hospital A&E units.
