answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/12/2021 answer text <p>On 14 October, we published ‘Our plan for improving access for patients and supporting general practice to support general practice’. This included a £250 million Winter Access Fund to improve the capacity of general practitioner (GP) practices and 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. We announced additional funding for NHS England to implement the adoption of cloud-based telephony technology across all practices. We remain committed to creating an extra 50 million appointments a year in general practice by increasing and diversifying the workforce.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield grouped question UIN 85358 question first answered 06/12/2021 13:48:58 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/02/2021 answer text <p>NHS Digital publishes ‘Appointments in General Practice’ data which cannot be used to measure waiting times in general practice. The ‘time from booking to appointment’ refers only to the time elapsed between the successful booking of an appointment and the appointment 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. This is an experimental data collection which is still being refined and improved.</p><p>Data showing the time between booking an appointment with a general practice and the appointment taking place for practices is published at national, regional, sustainability and transformation partnership and clinical commissioning group level.</p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill grouped question UIN 148885 question first answered 24/02/2021 16:03:15 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill

NHS England and NHS Improvement and Health Education England are working together with the profession to boost recruitment, address the reasons why doctors leave the profession and encourage them to return to practice.</p><p>This will mean bigger teams of staff providing a wider range of care options for patients and will free up more time for doctors to focus on those with more complex needs. Appointment numbers have risen from 16.6 million in April 2020 to 24 million in December 2020.</p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 24/02/2021 16:29:21 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill
