Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment his Department has made of the potential merits of a dual-GP registration system for university students.

It is not possible for patients to register with two general practitioner (GP) practices at the same time. However, we recognise that students registered with a university GP practice may wish to access treatment from another GP when returning home or when away from university. Students are therefore able to register as a temporary resident at another GP practice.
