Calls to charge patients for GP visits in the UK have been rejected by family doctors.
The issue was debated at the British Medical Association's annual GP conference in York.
Delegates voted against the idea, but warned that services were being stretched so much that care was being put at risk.
BMA GP leader Dr Chaand Nagpaul said general practice was becoming "conveyor belt medicine".
He pointed out that some GPs were having to see up to 60 patients a day.
