Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many GP vacancies there were in GP practices' in the Cheshire and Merseyside ICB as of 1 June 2025.

The data requested is not held centrally. The Government is committed to increasing the general practice workforce. By cutting red tape and investing more into the National Health Service, we have recruited over 1,700 general practitioners into general practice to deliver more appointments since October.
