In September 2015, which was the first extract from the new Workforce Minimum Data Set, only three of four Health Education England regions submitted data. Consequently, September 2015 figures should be treated with additional caution.</li><li>From June 2018 onwards, the data source for doctors in GP Training Grade (foundation and specialty registrar trainees on placements in General Practice) changed to the HEE Trainee Information System (TIS). To ensure comparability across the national time series, data from both old and new sources was used to calculate estimates for previously uncounted doctors in GP Training Grade back to September 2015. Prior to TIS, the sources for the GP registrar data were the main General Practice Workforce data collection and an additional extract of medical trainees delivering primary care services who were paid through ESR. In doctors in GP Training Grade contracts 1 FTE = 40 hours, however to ensure consistency in this table these FTEs have been converted to the standard wMDS measure of 1 FTE = 37.5 hours.</li></ul> answering member constituency Harborough answering member printed Neil O'Brien question first answered 16/11/2022 17:37:04 answering member 4679 label Biography information for Neil O'Brien previous answer version 31874 answering member constituency Harborough answering member printed Neil O'Brien answering member 4679 label Biography information for Neil O'Brien
