Aggressive behaviour at GP practices reported by government

Describes incidents as 'completely unacceptable'

Alleged aggressive behaviour at GP practices has been condemned by government.

It claims several incidents - which it describes as 'completely unacceptable' - have been reported.

It says warnings will be given if necessary and police may have to be called if it continues.

Meanwhile anyone attending an appointment at GP surgeries is being reminded they must wear a face covering at all times and answer the Covid-19 clinical symptoms questions.

People are asked not to attend if they have Covid symptoms, have been identified as a close contact of a positive case in the last 10 days, tested positive on a lateral flow device or been told to self-isolate.

The rules also apply to those who are fully-vaccinated.
