answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/03/2017 answer text <p>Although data on general practitioner (GP) practices is collected by NHS Business Services Authority and published for use in the National Health Service by NHS Digital, data on practice closures cannot distinguish between practices which have closed and those which have merged or been taken over. In addition, changes to definitions of GP practices for data purposes mean that it is not possible to produce meaningful figures relating to closures over a period of years.</p><p> </p><p>The issues around this data collection do not affect NHS services in any way. NHS England works with the Care Quality Commission and clinical commissioning groups to assess local primary care provision in an area and to ensure that appropriate services are available.</p> answering member constituency Warrington South answering member printed David Mowat grouped question UIN 68169 question first answered 20/03/2017 16:47:00 answering member 4080 label Biography information for David Mowat
