The Tories’ big promise to get people a GP appointment in two weeks is only an “expectation” and could just mean a phone call, the Health Secretary admitted today.
Therese Coffey promised “a package of measures” that will mean “all patients who need an appointment can get one within two weeks” - or on the day for urgent cases.
But grilled on her plans today, the MP - who is also Deputy Prime Minister - said it would be “ideally within a fortnight”.
