Is it right that gps are no longer seeing patients unless urgent?

[Tigerswife]

Our surgery is saying they are no longer making appointments unless urgent in order to concentrate on boosters? Surely cannot be allowed. Daughter is having pains and was going to make an appointment. Don’t think it’s urgent, but needs sorting.

I'm really worried about this. DH fainted on Saturday morning and split his head open, A&E put 16 staples in his head to hold it together and told him to see the GP this week to have them removed. I'm assuming this won't happen now and he'll end up with staples in his head indefinitely.
