I join my hon. Friend in condemning anyone who gives abuse to our fantastic GPs up and down the country. If someone cannot get through to their GP, they should try their clinical commissioning group. If for any reason that does not work, they should please come to the Department and consult Ministers.

Will he at least say when that soon-to-expire Act will be back before the House for a vote?

May I suggest that the hon. Lady reads the plan before she comments on it?
