Labour politicians have claimed residents in Northumberland are finding it "harder and harder" to get an appointment with their GP.
NHS England figures showed that 174,295 people waited more than 28 days between booking their appointment and being seen by their GP in July 2022. It means that just over 4.1% of patients in the region waited more than 28 days for an appointment.
Of almost 4.2 million appointments, nearly 1.8 million were seen the same day. Just under 350,000 were seen the following day, while around 810,000 were seen between two and seven days.
