GPs leave bills unpaid and ‘patients freezing’

Available for over a year

Health workers have told the 鶹 that unpaid bills, short-staffing and a lack of medical equipment are putting people in danger at three GP practices in Northamptonshire. The surgeries -- part of a UK-wide network with some 160,000 patients -- are run by a GP partnership and are managed remotely by an organisation called eHarley Street. A spokesman for the partners described the allegations as “false information fuelled by disgruntled ex-employees”. 鶹 investigations reporter, Jon Ironmonger has more. (Photo credit: 鶹)
