Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many (a) did-not-attends and (b) drop-outs from appointments occurred in GP practices in (i) Kingston upon Hull West and Hessle constituency and (b) England in each of the last 12 months.

NHS England does not currently hold information on the number of patients who did not attend or dropped out of general practitioner (GP) appointments on either a local or national level. NHS England has directed NHS Digital to gather this information as part of a new national collection of GP workload information. This collection will begin shortly. Within the Kingston upon Hull West and Hessle constituency the number of did-not-attend or drop-outs from appointments are recorded within individual practices and shared with patients.
