Our Plan for Patients

We are aware of the news that has come out on 22nd September regarding improved access to GPs via the Health Secretary’s 'Our Plan for Patients' and are awaiting more detail.

We appreciate these kinds of announcements cause huge stress and yet more uncertainty. Please rest assured that we will share what we know when it becomes available.

At all times we will represent your perspective to ensure that practical realities and limitations of our current workforce are recognised.

Policy paper: Our plan for patients

On 24 November, NHS Digital intends to publish experimental practice level data as laid out in the Secretary of State’s Our Plan for Patients . This data will be added to the monthly Appointments in General Practice publication using the data collected regularly from GP system suppliers. If practices want to review their data ahead of the release, they can access it via their practice level dashboard.
