Text

Thank you Minister. At the Priory and Springhill surgeries in my constituency, as well as at others, patients queue from first thing in the morning, only to be told that they cannot get a GP appointment. Patients phone as soon as the phone lines open and are told that, in a matter of minutes, all appointments have gone. What do you say to those who need a GP appointment?

Assessment

Not analysed

This is the same MLA’s follow-up within the exchange on their own question. It is analysed together with that question and is not counted separately, so one question is never counted twice.
