The number of general practitioners employed in the National Health Service for South Tyneside and the North East region since 2005 is in the attached table. The figures are taken from the NHS annual workforce statistics published by the Health and Social Care Information Centre.


Figures are only available for recognised NHS geography and therefore no information has been provided for Jarrow constituency.


The provision of health services in the United Kingdom is a devolved matter so total figures are for England only.
