Thousands of Brits denied face-to-face meetings with GP - see how yours compares

Fewer than three quarters of GP appointments were face-to-face last month, according to new data released by the NHS.

The new statistics, which cover all practices across England, are an attempt to improve transparency so that patients can see how their practice compares to others. They will be released monthly.

Across the country as a whole, just 73.4% of GP appointments took place face-to-face in October.
