According to NHS England, more than four in five GP practices in England are enabling their patients to access their health records online through the NHS App.
The NHS delivery plan for recovering access to primary care set out an ambitious plan for nine in 10 GP practices to offer patients access to their health records via the NHS App by March 2024. By making it quick and easy for patients to access their healthcare, it hoped that it would free up 10 million GP appointments a year by next winter, as well as give people more choice over how they access care.
Currently, 81.1% of GP practices offer online access.
