GP face-to-face appointments are now at highest level since Covid kicked off

GP face-to-face appointments are now at highest level since Covid kicked off The proportion of people seeing their GP face-to-face has risen to its highest level since the start of the pandemic, official figures show.

Two-thirds of appointments with family doctors in England last month were in-person, according to the latest data from NHS Digital. The 66.1 per cent figure is still well below the 80 per cent average before the pandemic struck.

However, it is the highest rate since March 2020, when the UK was plunged into its first national lockdown as the coronavirus swept across the country. The Daily Mail
