Roll out evening and weekend GP appointments, to 50% of the public by March 2018 and 100% by March 2019.  Strengthen support to care homes to ensure they have direct access to clinical advice, including appropriate on-site assessment.  Roll-out of standardised new �Urgent Treatment Centres� which will open 12 hours a day, seven days a week, integrated with local urgent care services. They offer patients who do not need hospital accident and emergency care, treatment by clinicians with access to diagnostic facilities that will usually include an X-ray machine. We anticipate around 150 designated UTCs, offering appointments that are bookable through 111 as well as GP referral, will be treating patients by Spring 2018.
