New NHS figures show that GPs delivered over seven million more appointments in the past year compared to last year, taking the total to a record 380 million.

In the last twelve months, GPs carried out 383.3 million appointments in the last twelve months, compared to 375.7 million in the previous year.

June 2025 figures show that practices delivered 31.4 million appointments, a record for June and a third more than the same period before the pandemic.

Additionally, the latest GP Patient Survey shows rising public satisfaction, with 53 per cent finding it easy to contact their practice by phone (up from 50 per cent last year), and 49 per cent finding the NHS App easy to use (up from 25 per cent last year).

Amanda Doyle, NHS England national director for primary care and community services, said: "General practice teams have been working exceptionally hard to boost access and turn our services around, with today's data showing important progress as over seven million additional appointments were delivered in the past year, taking the total to more than 380 million appointments.

"While services improve and patient satisfaction has started to rise, we know more needs to be done to improve access, which is why we remain committed to working with the government on delivering the ten-year plan to boost access and improve primary care services for patients."

Health minister Ashley Dalton said: "We are on a mission to rebuild our health service and give people better access to care when they need it.

"By cutting red tape, increasing capacity, and helping GPs spend less time filling out paperwork, seven million additional GP appointments were delivered in the past year--31.4 million appointments for June alone--meaning more patients getting time with their doctor and spending less time on a waiting list.

"Through our 10 Year Health Plan we are shifting care from hospitals to community. Our Plan for Change will deliver Neighbourhood Health Services that will put GPs at the heart of delivering more personalised, practice care in local areas when it is more convenient for patients."
