The vast majority of patients can get appointments and are satisfied with their general practitioner but we know more needs to be done. This is why, nationally, we are offering 7.5 million more people extra evening and weekend appointments as well as email and Skype consultations. Seven practices in Dudley alone are open every Saturday morning during this winter.

Named day questions only occur in the House of Commons. The MP tabling the question specifies the date on which they should receive an answer. MPs may not table more than five named day questions on a single day.
