answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/03/2018 answer text <p>The Department prepared an equality impact assessment when introducing online booking services for general practitioner (GP) appointments. In addition, local NHS England, or the clinical commissioning group, where the responsibility is delegated to them, carry out their own assessments to take account of their GP practice populations’ needs.</p><p> </p><p>Online services are not a replacement for face to face or telephone interactions, but another complementary way to access services. NHS England’s initial findings show that older people are more frequent users of online services and over 75s regularly register to use the service. In addition, carers of those who are much older are able to access appointment and order prescriptions on their behalf (with appropriate authorisation and safeguards).</p><p> </p><p>The use of online services frees up staff to spend more time with those who do not wish to use online services and prefer to continue using the phone or come to the practice in person to make appointments.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 20/03/2018 16:32:21 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
