Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many practising GPs there were in England per 100,000 population in each of the last five years.
The requested information is presented in the following table. Retainers, registrar and locum numbers are not comparable across the timescale requested and have therefore been excluded.
| All practitioners (excluding retainers and registrars and locums) headcount per 100,000 population |
2013 | 66.5 |
2014 | 66.5 |
2015 | 65.5 |
2016 | 63.6 |
2017 | 62.0 |
