Thousands of Calderdale patients wait over a week to see GP, an official NHS survey has found.
Across Calderdale, 23,161 people said they’d faced a wait of a week or more when they phoned for an appointment in the last year.
The annual NHS England survey also revealed local patients struggle to see the family doctor of their choosing.
Four in 10 patients (42,090 people) who have a preferred GP had to see another doctor when they last went to their surgery.
