answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/06/2023 answer text <p>General practices determine the most appropriate appointment mode for their patients based on clinical needs. The National Health Service is clear that general practices must provide face to face appointments, alongside remote consultations, and patients’ input into consultation type should be sought and their preferences for face-to-face care respected unless there are good clinical reasons to the contrary.</p><p>Face-to-face alongside remote appointments provide a choice of access routes for patients and additional flexibility and convenience. We expect patients to experience the same high quality of care regardless of how they access their general practice, and patients unable to access remote appointments should be offered an alternative appointment type.</p><p>The proportion of face-to-face appointments were 70.0% in April 2023, compared to April 2022, it is up by 7.1 percentage points. The proportion of telephone appointments were 26.3% in April 2023, compared to April 2022, it is down by 6.7 percentage points.</p> answering member constituency Harborough answering member printed Neil O'Brien question first answered 19/06/2023 16:08:51 answering member 4679 label Biography information for Neil O'Brien
