However, despite the hard work of general practice teams, who are delivering more appointments than pre-pandemic, we recognise that some people have struggled to access timely care from their general practice.</p><p>NHS England guidance is clear that general practitioners (GPs) practices must provide face to face appointments, alongside remote consultations and should respect preferences for face-to-face care unless there are good clinical reasons to the contrary. We are investing at least £1.5 billion to create an additional 50 million general practice appointments by 2024 by increasing and diversifying the workforce.</p> answering member constituency Harborough answering member printed Neil O'Brien question first answered 10/01/2023 13:45:13 answering member 4679 label Biography information for Neil O'Brien
