Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many times GP surgeries in (a) Enfield North constituency and (b) the London Borough of Enfield have failed to meet targets for offering appointments to patients in each year since 2010.

The Department has not set a target. General practices (GPs) are required to provide services to meet the reasonable needs of the patients registered at their practice. The Government has also set an expectation that that patients who need an appointment with their GP within two weeks should get one, and that patients with urgent needs should be seen on the same day.
