<p>The Department does not issue guidance on the ratio of general practitioners (GPs)
to patients. It is for each GP practice to ensure they are able to provide services
to all their patients as set out in their contract with NHS England.</p><p> </p><p>The
ratio of GPs to patients in Tendring is not collected centrally. Figures for North
East Essex Clinical Commissioning Group, which includes the district of Tendring,
are shown in the following table.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td> </td><td><p>Patients
per full time equivalent GP</p></td><td><p>All GPs full time equivalent per 100,000
population</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>North East Essex</p></td><td><p>1,715</p></td><td><p>60.8</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>
