The launch of the GP at Hand app-based primary care service in London has been met with accusations that it is damaging the NHS.

The service is being run by a practice in Fulham, but people across central London are able to move their GP registration there.

It uses technology provided by Babylon Health, which bills itself as "the world's first AI-driven healthcare service".
