Patients in England do not feel safe relying on GP out-of-hours care and are struggling to get access to doctors during normal hours, a leading patient group is warning.
The Patients Association said the government needed an urgent review of the "complex and convoluted" system.
Its report said if the problems persisted, the service would lose the trust of the public completely.
The warning comes after it surveyed 3,000 of its members and supporters.
The Patients Association said it had been prompted to investigate the GP system after a rising number of calls to its helpline.
