Primary Health Care
(asked on 17th July 2024) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment his Department has made of the adequacy of access to primary care services.
This question was answered on 25th July 2024
Too many patients are finding it impossible to access care. In May, a staggering 1.4 million patients waited for over a month for an appointment.
That is why we are committed to: fix the front door to the NHS; bring back the family doctor; and shift the focus of care away from hospitals and into the community.
