Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many GP appointments are offered in England each week.

General practice appointment data is collected and published monthly by NHS England. This data records appointments that have actually taken place, rather than those offered. As a result, we are unable to ascertain precisely how many appointments are offered to patients, we can, however, report on the number delivered.

In September 2025, 32 million appointments were delivered, which is, on average, approximately eight million appointments delivered in general practice per week.
