Description
Data indicates patients registered with practices by Health Board and Local Authority as at 1 October for each year presented. Since the introduction of the new GP contract (the General Medical Services contract) on 1 April 2004, patients register with a practice rather than a specific GP. GPs and practices have been allocated to one area based on the postcode of the main practice premises. However, practices may also operate branch surgeries from other locations and these locations may sit within a different area to that of the main practice premises. Practices in one area may provide care for patients living in another area. This is particularly likely where practices are located close to a boundary between areas, and/or where a practice operates one or more branch surgeries. Data Source for General Practice list sizes: GMS warehouse, Information Services Division, NHS National Services Scotland. Further information on GP workforce and practice populations in Scotland is available on the ISD Website
Details
Confidentiality Policy
The ISD Statistical Disclosure Protocol is followed.
Quality Management
Quality checks are conducted by ISD. Figures are compared to previously published data.
Accuracy and Reliability
Maintenance of health service records on patients registered to practices is a core administrative function of the NHS and therefore the information on numbers of patients registered to each practice is expected to have a high degree of accuracy.
Coherence and Comparability
Information on the numbers of general practices and the numbers of patients registered to them is fairly closely comparable with that for other UK countries.
Accessibility and Clarity
It is the policy of ISD Scotland to make its web sites and products accessible according to published guidelines.
Relevance
Some 90% interactions with the health service are made through primary care. This publication makes information available to the Scottish Government and NHS Boards for planning and provision of primary care services. The data are used by epidemiologists to understand public health trends and by other researchers to understand the relationship of health and healthcare to other factors.
Timeliness and Punctuality
Reports data since 2006, as at 01 October for each year presented.
Revisions
Data has been revised since first publication to correct an error in methodology which resulted in under-reporting of the numbers of patients registered with a general practice for 2014, 2013 and 2012.
URI
This is a linked data resource: it has a permanent unique uri at which both humans and machines can find it on the Internet, and which can be used an identifier in queries on our SPARQL endpoint.
