Warnings over staffing and funding are made by BMA Scotland ahead of a potentially 'terrifying' winter.
Scotland's NHS is in "a perilous situation" amid a staffing and funding crisis, according to the chairman of the doctors' union.
"In general practice, GPs are on their knees. We have practices falling over across the whole of Scotland.The health secretary previously warned this winter would be "the most challenging the NHS has faced". Recent figures showed that less than 70% of people attending A&E were seen with four hours. The target is 95%.Dr Kennedy has called on the government to publish a "heat map" showing where NHS vacancies are unfilled across Scotland.
"Even the government admits to 7% and that we are at least 800 GPs short in Scotland - and I, and others, suspect we are probably well over that figure now."
