Impact of COVID-19 on primary care contacts with children and young people in England — context please

[摘要] Foley et al’s article1 lacks the context of these figures with no mention of the direction that was suggested to primary care by NHS England and indeed the government.2,3The authors also fail to mention that this was also during times when no vaccination was available and some high-risk colleagues could not see patients physically. Do not forget that the lack of PPE and deaths of healthcare staff as a result of the pandemic were ever present.I am disappointed that this article only shows figures with absolutely no context at all and meant to further chastise primary care.© British Journal of General Practice 2022REFERENCES 1.↵Foley KA, Maile EJ, Bottle A, et al.
