Four out of five London GPs will not take on new patients

From the Guardian coverage of the Healthcare Commission annual report on the NHS:

Fifty-eight per cent of NHS dental practices are not taking on new patients, compared with 40% in 2001. But most people who do not have an NHS dentist would like one.

In London, patients found it equally difficult to register with an NHS GP, with four out of five practices unable to take on new patients
