BBC NEWS a Kent-based GP's study of 384 practices found no difference between the range of extra services offered by standard surgeries and polyclinics.
Dr Beerstecher, who specialises in research, found large surgeries already operating were no better at providing the specialist care the government is so keen on. He is not a member of the British Medical Association, the doctor's trade union body which has campaigned against polyclinics, and said: "I am not sure why the government is pushing ahead with polyclinics.
"As the study shows, there is no evidence that they provide more services so why are we having them set up all across the country?"
The government said polyclinics would provide a valuable service to patients.
Every NHS trust in the country has been told to set up at least one polyclinic, with a whole network being created in London.
As usual the GOV is talking out of their arse.
