We expect that patients who need an appointment within two weeks should receive one and patients with urgent needs should be seen on the same day. In August 2022, 44.6% of appointments took place on the same day as it was booked, excluding COVID-19 vaccinations. In some cases, it may be appropriate for a practice to direct a patient to accident and emergency or to dial 999.</p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 18/10/2022 16:23:06 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince
