People are unable to access some essential family doctor services as the services are being cut due to chronic workforce shortages and underfunding in general practice.
A survey of general practices has found more than half of essential family doctor clinics have reduced the services they are offering.
The General Practice Owners Association of New Zealand (GenPro) survey found a significant number of practices have completely withdrawn some services altogether.
