Mr Johnson visited Churchill Medical Centre in Kingston, Surrey, which has opened 8am to 8pm four nights a week and from 9am to 11am on Saturdays for nine months, to hear about its extended hours experience.
GP Dr Peter Smith said: ‘We are now looking to implement the extended hours service in an inner city practice in Derby to show that it can be done elsewhere.’
Mr Johnson refused to comment.
