General Practitioners: Greater London
(asked on 16th October 2017) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what recent estimate he has made of the GP to patient ratio for (a) Enfield Clinical Commissioning Group and (b) other clinical commissioning groups in London; and if he will make an assessment of the adequacy of those GP to patient ratios.
The requested information is contained in the table below. There is no recommended ratio of general practitioners (GPs) to patients, recognising the differing needs of the registered patients of GP practices. GP practices plan and utilise their workforce to best meet the needs of their patients.
