Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the Delivery plan for recovering access to primary care, published on 9 May 2023, how many and what proportion of GP Practices have requested Government support to move to digital telephony since the publication of that plan.
Since the publication of the recovery plan, 1,050 (16%) general practitioner practices which equates to 100% of practices currently on analogue telephony solutions have requested support to transition to digital telephony.
