General practices offered more than 915,000 appointments to patients across Kent and Medway in May 2024.
Around 64 per cent of these appointments were face-to-face or home visits.
That means that GP practices offered over 66,000 more appointments in May 2024 than were offered in May 2023.
The data, released by NHS England, also shows nearly 37,000 people did not attend their appointments.
Most people who are unable to attend their appointment cancel them to allow other people in need to use them.
We would urge anyone who can no longer attend any appointment to please let their practice know.
