There is clearly a lack of GPs now in the Brentwood area. At Beechwood surgery it is now 7 weeks for a routine doctors appointment. The situation has materially declined as we have built in Brentwood. As a condition of the local plan the council should mandate the inclusion of additional GP surgery space to make up for the previous lack. I would also recommend the council to speak to the surgeries, to get an analysis of average wait times - rather than seeming to rely on non-existent per thousand stats.
