Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government what plan they have to ensure that all GP surgeries and primary care centres offer an online booking option for appointments, and what progress has been made to date.

As of April 2024, 97% of general practices in England have cloud-based telephony systems in place. The Government has pledged to deliver a modern appointment booking system to end the 8:00am scramble, and ensure that there is an online booking option for all that wish to use it.
