4.4.i Access to GP services

Summary

Update 2 March 2023: Following the merger of NHS Digital and NHS England on 1st February 2023 we are reviewing the future presentation of the NHS Outcomes Framework indicators. As part of this review, the annual publication which was due to be released in March 2023 has been delayed. Further announcements about this dataset will be made on this page in due course.

This indicator measures the weighted percentage of people who report their experience of making a GP appointment as ‘fairly good’ or ‘very good’.

This indicator aims to capture the experience of patients of accessing GP services.

Some different patterns have been observed in the 2020/21 GP Patient Survey (GPPS) data which are likely to have been impacted by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Statistics from this period should also be interpreted with care.

Legacy unique identifier: P01781
