A GP has said she kept on working through a cancer scare because otherwise her patients would not have been seen due to staffing issues made worse by funding.
Dr Emily Jones is not alone feeling under pressure, as a colleague at their south Wales surgery worries she will make a mistake because she is seeing more patients than the recommended daily safe limit due to financial pressures.
Some doctors claim these issues are made worse by an "outdated" health funding model which does not take into account how sick or poor a surgery's catchment is.
The Welsh government said parts of GP contracts, including funding formulas, would be considered as part of annual contract negotiations.
The UK government has said it is reviewing the formula while the Welsh Parliament is looking at it as part of its inquiry into the future of GPs.
