When interpreting the figures, it is important to note that the nature of general practitioner (GP) contracts and their work has changed over time. Since the start of the new General Medical Services (GMS) contract in 2004-05, there have been some major changes to income, work streams and investment in general practice which is not directly comparable to previous years. The time series tables are presented in cash terms for contractor and salaried GPs under a GMS or Personal Medical Service (PMS) contract. The data covers earnings, expenses and income from both National Health Service and private sources where a GP has at least some NHS earnings.</p> answering member constituency Central Suffolk and North Ipswich answering member printed Dr Daniel Poulter question first answered 21/10/2014 17:27:51 answering member 3932 label Biography information for Dr Dan Poulter attachment 1 file name Average pay for a GP working in NHS.docx title Average Pay for GPs
