Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many full‑time equivalent GPs were practising in the Great Yarmouth constituency in each of the last five years, and how many patients these GPs were responsible for in each of those years.

The following table shows full time equivalent (FTE) doctors in general practice and patients per FTE doctor in general practice in the Great Yarmouth constituency, from December 2021 to December 2025:

Notes:

1. data does not include estimates for practices that did not provide fully valid staff records;
2. data does not include GPs employed by primary care networks;
3. FTE refers to the proportion of full time contracted hours that the post holder is contracted to work. One would indicate they work a full set of hours, 37.5 hours, 0.5 that they worked half time. In GPs in Training Grade contracts, one FTE equals 40 hours and in this table these FTEs have been converted to the standard Workforce Minimum Data Set measure of one FTE being 37.5 hours for consistency;
4. figures shown do not include staff working in Prisons, Army Bases, Educational Establishments, Specialist Care Centres including Drug Rehabilitation Centres, Walk-In Centres, and other alternative settings outside of traditional general practice such as urgent treatment centres and minor injury units; and
5. practices in the Great Yarmouth constituency were identified using the practice postcode and the National Statistics Postcode Lookup.

The national median number of patients per FTE doctor in general practice in December 2025 was 1,805.
