Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

What progress her Department has made on improving access to GP appointments.

• Thanks to the efforts of superb GPs up and down the country, in England there is now a record additional 50 million appointments per year being made available.

• Our Primary Care Recovery Plan for England is focussed on improving access for patients and reducing bureaucracy for GPs.

• Health is devolved to Scotland and I’m sure the honourable lady will use our excellent record to challenge SNP Ministers on their performance.
