New GP surveillance data and SEND travel consultation both rely on public reporting

The UK Health Security Agency has published its GP in-hours and out-of-hours syndromic surveillance weekly bulletins for 2026 [1][2]. The out-of-hours bulletin counts how many people contacted their GPs outside surgery hours [1]. The in-hours bulletin monitors how many people visited their GP during surgery hours [2]. BBC News Wiltshire carried two reports on the issue; in both, councillors have said it is 'vital' people share their views before a final decision is made on free school travel for SEND teenagers [3][4].
