To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will provide additional funding for the provision of out-of-hours GP appointments in (a) High Peak constituency and (b) Derbyshire.
Integrated care boards (ICBs) must ensure that out-of-hours appointments are available to patients to help them access care at convenient times, for example on weekends, evenings, or bank holidays.
The Derby and Derbyshire ICB commissions Derbyshire Health United to provide out of hours general practice (GP) appointments. The ICB also commissions GPs to provide extended access appointments during the period from 8:00am to 8:00pm on Monday to Friday, and 9:00am to 5:00pm on Saturday, as part of the national Primary Care Network Directed Enhanced Service.
