General Practitioners: Undocumented Migrants

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many GP appointments were attended by irregular migrants in each year since 2018.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

Primary care services delivered by general practitioners and nurses are free for all in England. Therefore, the migration status of individuals is not recorded, as it is not relevant to the care provided, or in relation to cost recovery.
