It depends on your practice. Mine has booking appointments and messaging currently disabled, which is annoying, but I imagine it must be to overcapacity.

It does. I book appointments directly through the NHS app (have done twice in the last few weeks, in fact). Back in 2017 when the article was written things were almost certainly a bit different, though that feels about right for when I would've first been booking online using the Patient Access app.
Doesn't the NHS provide an app to do this exact thing asynchronously? Those apps are ubiquitous across the EU.
