NHS data reported by the outlets shows that a relatively small share of general practitioners (GPs) work full-time. The reporting states that only about one in five GPs work full-time, while around 90% of younger doctors are described as working part-time. The articles link this staffing pattern to ongoing pressure on access to primary care, saying many patients are waiting for routine appointments. The outlets also report that the average wait time for a routine GP appointment is around 10 days. Both accounts frame the trend as a shift after the COVID pandemic, suggesting doctors may be working fewer hours than in earlier periods. While the articles emphasize workload and availability, the common elements across the sources are the proportion of full-time versus part-time GP and younger doctor working patterns and the reported average delay for routine appointments. The coverage does not provide additional explanation for the underlying reasons for part-time working in the excerpts provided, focusing instead on the reported figures and their implications for appointment availability.
