Notes:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- The data is also published on the HSCIC website: http://www.hscic.gov.uk/catalogue/PUB20480
