From today, we will publish data on GP appointment waiting times, allowing patients to make informed choices about which GP practice they choose to visit to improve patient care.
- We are determined to see everyone able to make informed choices about their care and get an appointment with their GP when they need one.
- That is why today we are publishing practice-level data on GP appointments, showing the length of wait for GP appointments and how many appointments each GP practice delivers to increase patient choice – this comes alongside our plan to offer a million additional appointments this winter and 31,000 extra phone lines.
- These changes will mean that everyone can get an appointment within two weeks with urgent appointments on the same day, giving patients the care they deserve.
