Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to page 6 of the NHS Long-Term Plan, whether the right of every patient to have an online digital GP consultation will be added to the NHS constitution.

To date, no decision has been taken to whether the right of every patient to have an online general practitioner consultation will be added to the NHS Constitution. The ultimate decision about what is included in the NHS Constitution rests with the Department and may be subject to parliamentary agreement.
