20 years ago the GP Surgery I went to had 3 practices. All of them had 3 Doctors on permanant staff along with 1 locum. Each practice also had 3 nurses on site, one of which was a midwife.
Now, patient numbers have almost doubled, all 3 have merged into 1. There are 2 locum doctors and 2 nurses to serve the whole building.
Midwifery is now only available in the main hospital 10 miles away.
