Two foot long, about 1" strip next to pvc door. Tap it and it's got

Any easy fixes?

Fill it with filler or plaster. I'm assuming it's 1" wide because plaster fell out, not because the wall needs rebuilding. Hollow sounding bits can be done at the same time, but not if well held in place - that happens sometimes.



No the crack is not 1" wide, the dimensions I gave are of the cracked
section. The crack is a fine crack.

OK, waht has happened is they were lazy plasterboarding it and didnt
tape up a sliver of plasterboard. Is this a stud wall or block?

To do a pukka job you probably want to remove it, fit it properly and
redecorate.
