She said: ‘We all know how difficult it can be to get a GP appointment when you need one – and I’ve now seen for myself how acute the pressure is on practices.

‘While there aren’t any simple solutions, it is my strong view that getting more services into Fareham Community Hospital would make a big contribution. If we had more walk-in services there, providing routine treatment and consultations with nurse practitioners, for example, it would ease the pressure on GPs.’
