Notes:

  1. The above table shows the total number of patients registered at general practitioner (GP) practices within the named CCGs, on the specified dates. This information is extracted on a quarterly basis from the GP Payments System, which is maintained by the HSCIC.
  2. The HSCIC has provided the difference between the number of patients registered at GP practices in the named CCGs on 1 April 2015 and 1 April 2016. However, the HSCIC cannot provide the number of ‘new’ registrations.
  3. It is possible that individuals are double counted, e.g. students registered at their home address and university. It is also possible that individuals are removed, e.g. GP cleaning off duplications.
  4. The data is also published on the HSCIC website: http://www.hscic.gov.uk/catalogue/PUB20480
