    New Zealanders could be getting sicker because some have stopped calling their GPs

    New Zealanders could be getting sicker because some have stopped calling their GPs


    The Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners says people should stay on top of their ongoing health needs.

    Chief executive Dr Samantha Murton says people have been holding off seeing their GPs, because they're concerned about it being busy or having to be around sick people.

    She says although Covid is going on, people still need to take care of their other health issues.
