Description:

Access to counselling through GP practices continues to operate as a post-code lottery, with access almost totally dependent on where you live.

Information obtained by PPR under Freedom of Information shows that from 2020/21 to 2021/22 there has been an overall decrease in the number of GP practices offering in-house counselling.
