GP Appointments Data Collection

It is widely known NHS services come under significant pressure across winter and other holiday periods and although there are regular flows of data across secondary care, the understanding of capacity an utilisation of primary care services is limited.

Once the data has been collected by NHS Digital, it will be passed to NHS England who will carry out the majority of the processing, analysis and further use of the data.
