answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/11/2023 answer text <p>We recognise that despite the hard work of general practice (GP) teams, some patients are still struggling to access care in a timely way. That is why we have published our Delivery Plan for Recovering Access to Primary Care. The plan has two central ambitions: to tackle the 8am rush and reduce the number of people struggling to contact their practice, and for patients to know on the day they contact their practice how their request will be managed.</p><p>We will achieve this by rolling out new digital tools and telephone systems which can help practices to better match their capacity to patient demand, backed by £240 million in retargeted funding. The plan also includes further measures to empower patients to do more themselves, cut bureaucracy for GPs and build capacity to deliver more appointments; and 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 10/11/2023 13:42:34 answering member 4679 label Biography information for Neil O'Brien

There are no current plans to reduce the existing travel time of 90 minutes by public transport though best endeavours are taken to schedule assessment appointments in centres near to a claimant. This limit of 90 minutes is an absolute maximum and the department expects that only a small minority of claimants will have to make a journey of this duration. New assessment centres have opened, and continue to open, to ensure the needs of claimants are met.</p> answering member constituency North Swindon answering member printed Justin Tomlinson grouped question UIN 187 question first answered 18/10/2019 11:31:39 answering member 4105 label Biography information for Justin Tomlinson
