<p>The requested information is contained in the attached tables. 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>
