The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many not ordinarily resident overseas visitors received NHS primary health care services in (a) 2024-25 and (b) 2025-2026.

Answered by Karin Smyth

The information requested is not held by the Department. General Practice Appointment Data records the number of appointments delivered to registered patients. It does not capture information on the migration status of those who received care.
