The number of GP appointments in England dropped by nearly 14% in January compared to the previous year, according to new figures from NHS Digital.
Around 24 million GP appointments were estimated to have taken place in England in January 2021 compared to 28 million in January 2020.
And although the total number of appointments recorded in GP practice systems increased by 0.1% from 23,759,106 in December to 23,776,396 in January this year, this is a drop compared to the same period last year, when there was a 15% increase.
This was likely due to the third national lockdown in England, which Boris Johnson announced on 4 January, NHS Digital said.
It added that the data from December 2020 onwards also contains appointments related to Covid-19 vaccinations.
