There is no Government recommendation for how many patients a GP should have assigned, or the ratio of GPs or other practice staff to patients. The demands each patient places on their GP are different and can be affected by many different factors, including rurality and patient demographics. It is necessary to consider the workforce for each practice as a whole; not only GPs but also including the range of health professionals available who are able to respond to the needs of their patients.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 18/01/2024 16:32:19 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom
