A South East London Integrated Care Board spokesperson said: “We are working with individual practices in Lewisham to ensure that everyone in the borough can access high quality primary care services when they need them. The data relates to just one question of 52 from the survey.

“As the NHS continues to recover from the impact of the Covid pandemic, while facing increased demand and recruitment challenges, we are working together to tackle the most common issues raised by patients: getting through to their practice and speedy access to appointments.

“Practices now offer more evening and weekend appointments and we are working with them to improve telephone and online access. Practices now also host care coordinators, who, where appropriate, can direct patients to other sources of health advice.

“NHS England has also recently published the health service’s first national workforce plan and a national primary care recovery plan centred on improving access - both backed by major investment.”
