A postcode lottery of GP surgeries means some patients are five times less likely to see a doctor in person than others, a Daily Mail investigation reveals today.

Analysis of figures shows a huge variation in access, with one practice conducting fewer than one in six appointments with doctors in the same room, while at others the figure is nine in ten.

The Mail is campaigning for GPs to get back to seeing patients in person, amid fears the rise in phone and video consultations has led to serious illnesses such as cancer being missed.

The proportion of face-to-face appointments has plummeted from 80 per cent before the Covid pandemic to just 57 per cent this July.

A key part of our five-point manifesto is an end to the postcode lottery so anybody can be seen in person, regardless of where they live.

Patient groups described the Mail’s findings as ‘shocking’ last night and said they show some practices have effectively banned face-to-face care.
