	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/01/2022 answer text <p>The National Health Service has been clear that general practitioner (GP) practices must provide face to face appointments, alongside remote consultations. Patients’ input into consultation type should be sought and practices should respect preferences for face to face care unless there are good clinical reasons to the contrary, such as the presence of COVID-19 symptoms.</p><p>In October 2021, we published ‘Our plan for improving access for patients and supporting general practice’. This included an additional investment of £250 million in a Winter Access Fund to increase the number of face to face appointments, while also investing in technology to make it easier for patients to see or speak to their GP.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 20/01/2022 15:54:32 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/10/2019 answer text <p>Data on appointments in general practice have only been available since November 2017. The most recent data on the time between booking an appointment with a general practice and having the appointment (in days) for England are presented in the table below as the average over the 12 months from September 2018 to August 2019.</p><p>The data is taken from the NHS Digital publication ‘Appointments in General Practice’. This is a new experimental data collection which is still being refined and improved.</p><p>It should be noted that the ‘time from booking to appointment’ refers only to the time elapsed between the successful booking of an appointment and the appointment actually taking place. The data does not take into consideration that many patients will be appropriately booking ahead as part of the continuity of care they receive for long-term conditions.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>-</p></td><td><p>England</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>-</p></td><td><p>Distribution of average time elapsed between booking an appointment and the appointment taking place, September 2018 to August 2019.

Further bookings are presented grouped by weeks.</p><p>- The number of appointments that have already happened is provided as recorded in participating practices in England. The data presented only contains information which was captured on the GP practice systems. This limits the activity reported on and does not represent all work happening within a primary care setting.</p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 21/10/2019 16:58:05 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/03/2022 answer text <p>No formal assessment has been made. There is no recommendation for how many patients should be allocated to a general practitioner (GP), as the demand each patient places on their GP can be affected by various factors, including rurality and patient demographics. GPs form part of a multidisciplinary team, therefore ensuring the appropriate skills are available in general practice can address workload pressures and deliver appropriate patient care.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 14/03/2022 16:59:00 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield
