Question
To ask the Scottish Government how many GP surgeries have operated a restricted patient list in each year since 1999, broken down by NHS board.
Answer
Circumstances will arise where a practice experiences capacity issues and is unable to routinely accept new patients onto its list. We expect health boards to work with practices as constructively and as flexibly as is appropriate to help manage the situation.
