GPs are charging people at their most vulnerable and we are working with the Department of Health and Social Care to identify what more we could do to help victims of domestic abuse access the help they need. This important issue has been put forward as part of the GP contract negotiations for 2019-20. Whilst the content of those negotiations is not discussed publicly until an agreement has been reached, the Government is committed to dealing with this issue, through this process.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 22/11/2018 16:15:59 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer
