General Practitioners: Recruitment
(asked on 29th October 2014) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many GP practices have not been able to replace doctors who have retired in each of the last three years.
This question was answered on 5th November 2014
The information is not collected by the Department. The last GP Vacancy Survey in England was undertaken by the Health and Social Care Information Centre in 2010. The survey was suspended in 2011 and then discontinued in 2013 following the publication of the Fundamental Review of Data Returns, which aimed to reduce the burden of the collection of data from National Health Service organisations.
