The Delivery plan for recovering access to primary care was published in May 2023 with an overarching ambition to tackle the 8am rush and make it easier and quicker for patients to get the help they need.

It set out 14 commitments in four areas; empower patients, implement ‘Modern General Practice access’, build capacity, and cut bureaucracy. Since publication, significant progress has been made by primary care teams right across the North East and Yorkshire.
