	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/10/2022 answer text <p><strong> </strong></p><p>NHS England guidance states that general practitioner (GP) 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. In August 2022, 66.1% of appointments were conducted face-to-face, excluding COVID-19 vaccinations. This is an increase from 57.5% in August 2021.</p><p>Remote consultations can provide additional choice, flexibility and convenience for patients. However, a blended offer of face to face and remote consultations is important because remote access is not suitable for all patients or in all circumstances. On 22 September 2022, we announced ‘Our plan for patients’, which contains measures to assist people make an informed choice on their general practitioner (GP) practice, book an appointment more easily, benefit from more care options and increase the diversity of general practice teams.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 18/10/2022 16:21:41 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince

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
