Labour is requiring GPs to see patients with urgent needs on the day they call.
That comes alongside a £485 million increase in GP funding, a real-terms increase for the second year in a row.
Separately, nearly £300 million of existing NHS funding will be diverted to recruit more GPs and increase the number of shifts for existing doctors working at practices.
Since Labour took office, patient satisfaction has risen after a decade of decline. In December 2025, 75% of patients said contacting their GP was easy, up from 61% in July 2024.
