How did we work it out?
We count every practice on NHS England’s list of GP practices (the ODS register). The total includes services listed as GP practices that you cannot choose, such as a service for one group of patients.
The chart counts the practices a patient can register with, so its rows add up to fewer than the total. The boards are in alphabetical order, not ranked.
Where does the figure come from?
- Contains information from NHS England, licenced under the current version of the Open Government Licence
