Green is more than two percentage points better than England, red is more than two points worse, and black is about the same. There is no national standard for these measures. A blank cell means no comparable figure was published for that surgery. Surgeries on the same percentage are listed alphabetically.

Not in this table

  • Cambridge Avenue & Messingham Mc, DN16: labels only 13% of its appointments as general consultations, too few to compare fairly. Across all its appointments, 86% took place within two weeks of booking.
  • Cherry Tree Medical Practice, DN15: labels only 7% of its appointments as general consultations, too few to compare fairly. Across all its appointments, 91% took place within two weeks of booking.
  • Winterton Medical Practice, DN15: labels only 12% of its appointments as general consultations, too few to compare fairly. Across all its appointments, 66% took place within two weeks of booking.

How to read this

  • The clock starts at booking. Time spent trying to get through, or being told to call back another day, is not in these figures.
  • Surgeries label their own appointments. What one surgery records as a general consultation, another may record differently, so small gaps between surgeries mean little.
  • A surgery is included when it recorded at least 200 general consultations in the month and they made up at least 15% of its appointments. That rule is ours, not the NHS's.
  • Same day is not always better. A surgery that only books on the day scores highly here, even if patients have to call back several mornings running.
  • Phone figures cover surgeries whose phone supplier sends data to the NHS. "Answered within two minutes" counts answered calls only. "Ended in the queue" is the share of all incoming calls that ended while the caller was waiting to speak to someone.
