Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many patients are registered with each General Practitioner in each Clinical Commissioning Group area in Essex.
Since 2004 general practitioners (GPs) no longer hold an individual list of registered patients as patients now register with a practice.
Data for the number of general practitioners (headcount) working in each clinical commissioning group (CCG) in Essex, and the number of patients registered at each CCG is set out below. General practitioner headcount figures include GP Providers, Salaried GPs, Registrars, Retainers and Locums.
CCG Name | All GP Headcount | Number of registered patients at 1 October 2017 | Average number of patients per GP |
NHS Mid Essex CCG | 219 | 390,061 | 1,781 |
