The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many face-to-face GP appointments were there in each of the past three years.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

In the past three years, the number of face-to-face GP appointments were as follows:

  • 12 months to August 2023: 100.1 million appointments
  • 12 months to August 2024: 101.2 million appointments
  • 12 months to August 2025: 99 million appointments

These appointments do not include COVID-19 vaccinations, and a small number of Primary Care Network appointments that could not be allocated to an integrated care board have been excluded.
