answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/02/2024 answer text <p>We have set an expectation that where clinically appropriate, patients should receive an appointment within two weeks of requesting one, or on the same day if their need is urgent. The general practice contract requires practices to offer patients an assessment of need, or signpost them to an appropriate service, on the day they contact the practice, so that patients are not asked to call back another day.</p><p>We are committed to making it quicker and easier for people to get the help they need from primary care. That is why we published our Primary Care Recovery Plan. We are providing £240 million of funding, an average of £60,000 per practice, so that practices can transition to digital telephone systems and consultation tools which will help patients to get support more quickly.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 29/02/2024 11:24:52 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom

This is a new experimental data collection which is still being refined and improved.</p><p>It should be noted that the ‘time from booking to appointment’ refers only to the time elapsed between the successful booking of an appointment and the appointment actually taking place. The data does not take into consideration that many patients will be appropriately booking ahead as part of the continuity of care they receive for long-term conditions.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p>Redbridge CCG</p></td><td><p>London Regional Local Office</p></td><td><p>England</p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td colspan="3"><p>Distribution of average time elapsed between booking an appointment and the appointment taking place, September 2018 to August 2019.

Further bookings are presented grouped by weeks.</p><p>- The number of appointments that have already happened is provided as recorded in participating practices in England. The data presented only contains information which was captured on the GP practice systems.
