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> </p><p><em>Sources: </em>The Health and Social Care Information Centre General and Personal Medical Services Statistics; Office for National Statistics: Mid-Year Population Estimates</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>The Department set up Health Education England (HEE) to deliver a better health and healthcare workforce for England. HEE is responsible for ensuring a secure workforce supply for the future balancing need against demand, taking into account factors such as the age profile of the existing workforce, the impact of technology, and new drugs.</p><p> </p><p>The Department has recognised the need to increase the general practitioner (GP) workforce and between September 2010 and September 2013, the number of full time equivalent GPs has risen by 1,051. Additionally, the Department has included in the HEE mandate a requirement that “HEE will ensure that 50% of trainees completing foundation level training enter GP training programmes by 2016”.</p><p> </p> more like this
