59 of 350 places are open today.

Why a number this small

A typical panel is about 2,000

One doctor, two thousand people, and eleven minutes each. Nothing about that arrangement is anybody's fault and all of it is the arithmetic.

This one is 350

Which is four to six people a day instead of thirty, and appointments that are half an hour because there is room for them to be.

The cap is the promise

Same-day access is not a policy, it is a consequence. Raise the cap and it quietly stops being true, so the cap does not rise.

A waiting list, not a longer wait

When the panel is full, new people wait outside it rather than everybody inside it waiting longer.
