Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what the average distance travelled for an out-of-hours GP appointment was in (a) Suffolk, (b) Bedfordshire, (c) Cambridgeshire, (d) Essex, (e) Hertfordshire and (f) Norfolk in each of the last 10 years; and what the average waiting time for an out-of-hours GP appointment was in (i) Suffolk, (ii) Bedfordshire, (iii) Cambridgeshire, (iv) Essex, (v) Hertfordshire and (vi) Norfolk in each of the last 10 years.

The information requested is not collected centrally. NHS England has delegated the commissioning of out of hours services for general practitioner practices to clinical commissioning groups (CCGs). The hon. Member might therefore wish to contact local CCGs for information about out of hours performance.
