Health secretary Matt Hancock told GPs the profession was heading for its biggest transformation in years in a video message to the RCGP conference in Glasgow.

He reaffirmed the government's commitment to delivering a state-backed GP indemnity scheme and backed general practice as the 'bedrock' of the NHS. Watch his statement in full below:
