PRIMARY CARE DATA PUBLISHED

On Thursday 24 November 2022, NHS Digital published GP data by practice covering access, complaints and payments. Publication of the data is part of the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care’s ‘Our Plan for Patients’ to enable patients to have more information available to choose the right practice for them. 

The publication of this data is a national decision that GP practices have no influence over. The data is experimental and as a result has a number of limitations.  For example, it only records details of appointments that are recorded in the GP appointments system, rather than the total number of interactions.   It is not a measure or indication of practice quality or patient care.

It is not a complete view of general practice activity and cannot be used as an accurate representation of workload and capacity.

The South East London ICB (Integrated Care Board) are available to answer any questions regarding this published data in the following ways:

  • If you are from the media, please direct any questions to [email protected] – please put your enquiry in writing via email
  • If you one of our local MP’s or councillors, please direct questions to [email protected]  – please put your enquiry in writing via email

We are always happy to receive your constructive feedback on how improvements can be made to the services we provide.

If you have any concerns or questions about the data, please could you put these in writing to the Practice Manager.

Thank you

Woolstone Medical Centre
