    they will argue that they are already taking action as outlined in the Five Year Forward view and more money than ever will be in the pipeline with extra GPs and staff. they will also say they have been listening hence the future increase in funding. they will make out that GPs are like spoilt children who can't wait for xmas day. sadly the xmas presents will be empty boxes and we will have to make do with the wrapping paper and cardboard. they are basically trying to kick the issue into the long term and hope enough of us wait - they will then disappoint us as per usual around the 2020 election and state that 'change' is again required.
