PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
General Practitioners (27 November 2023)

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many and what proportion of patients with a GP appointment booked further appointments after (a) 14 days or less, (b) 15 to 28 days and (c) 29 to 56 days since June 2023.

Asked by:
Imran Hussain (Independent)

The data is not held in the format requested. Appointment numbers and the estimated time between an appointment being booked and taking place are published at practice level but not aggregated to council or electoral ward level.

In addition, appointment data is not collected centrally for individual patients. The GP practice will be the source of that data.
