High percentage of GP appointments delayed over three weeks

One in every nine GP appointments in Leicestershire and Rutland last month took place more than three weeks after booking. A total of 611,982 appointments took place at GP practices across the two counties in March.

Almost 73,000 of those, however, had been booked more than three weeks earlier. That works out as 11.9 per cent of all appointments – an increase from 11.2 per cent in February. And Leicestershire and Rutland is well above the average, with the average for England being 9.4 per cent.

It is three times higher than the best-performing areas, where the figures are as low as 3.6 per cent.
