This question was answered on 25th March 2025
We’re investing an additional £889 million in funding for general practice in 2025-26, the biggest boost in years, and are recruiting 1,000 new GPs.
With this funding, we are making important reforms to bring back the family doctor and allow patients to request appointments online throughout core opening hours.
