Data for this publication are extracted each month as a snapshot in time from the Primary Care Registration database within the PDS (Personal Demographics Service) system. This release is an accurate snapshot as at 1 January 2025. GP Practice; Primary Care Network (PCN); Sub Integrated Care Board Locations (SICBL); Integrated Care Board (ICB) and NHS England Commissioning Region level data are released in single year of age (SYOA) and 5-year age bands, both of which finish at 95+, split by gender. In addition, organisational mapping data is available to derive PCN; SICBL; ICB and Commissioning Region associated with a GP practice and is updated each month to give relevant organisational mapping. Quarterly publications in January, April, July and October will include Lower Layer Super Output Area (LSOA) populations.

Data for this publication are extracted each month as a snapshot in time from the Primary Care Registration database within the NHAIS (National Health Application and Infrastructure Services) system. This release is an accurate snapshot as at 1 April 2024. This publication also includes monthly data outputs from the Personal Demographic Service, which will become the data source for this publication from May 2024. More information about the data source change can be found in the Data Quality Statement.

NHS Payments to General Practice, England 2016/17 presents NHS payments to individual providers of general practice services in England. Figures are given for the main payment categories which include Global Sum1, the Minimum Practice Income Guarantee (MPIG), Balance of PMS expenditure, Quality Outcomes Framework (QOF) and Enhanced Services. These payments are not a record of the amount of money available for direct patient care. Instead, they constitute the majority of actual monies paid to practices by the NHS during the 2016/17 financial year. These payments are intended to cover all costs associated with the delivery of primary care medical services and include funding for premises costs, dispensing and other activities. The payments are a subset of the total invested in Primary Medical Care, as some funding - such as payments for clinical waste or some information technology services - does not reach individual GP practices but is centrally managed. The data used for this report cover the period from 1 April 2016 to 31 March 2017 and include GP practices, and providers of general practice services, that received payments through the NHS Digital GP Payments system - National Health Applications and Infrastructure Services (NHAIS) - and NHS England's Integrated Single Finance Environment (ISFE) which captured all CCG and regional local team payments made directly to practices. In 2016/17, all payments captured in ISFE - which amount to a net total of £806.2 million2 - are included in the report. For the 2015/16 report, only payments made by CCGs for Local Enhanced Service (LES) and captured in ISFE could be included in the published data; the 2013/14 and 2014/15 publications included data from NHAIS alone3. The report is cash-based per provider of general practices service and presents all payments made directly to practices by the NHS, including invoices paid by NHS England and CCGs. However, any other direct payments, such as Local Authority Public Health Grants, are not included. 1. Global sum makes up the bulk of payments to practices, and allocates funding in accordance with the Carr-Hill formula. This formula takes into consideration, along with other practice characteristics, individual patients' age, gender and health conditions and calculates a "weighted" count of patients according to need. This means that two practices with the same number of patients may have very different weighted patient numbers due to widely varying patient characteristics and health conditions, and as a result, these practices which may seem to be similar in terms of list size, could receive very different levels of funding. 2. Please note that data on all payments made, by Clinical Commissioning Groups and NHS England Regional Teams, via the Integrated Single Finance Environment are not available for years prior to 2016/17, therefore comparisons between years should be made with caution. 3. Data for years prior to 2013/14 are not available.

Data for this publication are extracted each month as a snapshot in time from the Primary Care Registration database within the PDS (Personal Demographics Service) system. This release is an accurate snapshot as at 1 September 2025. Figures are reported by gender and single year of age (SYOA) and five-year age bands (up to age 95+) at GP Practice, Primary Care Network (PCN), Sub Integrated Care Board Location (SICBL), Integrated Care Board (ICB) and NHS England Commissioning Region levels. In addition, organisational mapping data is available to derive PCN, SICBL, ICB, and Commissioning Region for each GP practice and is updated each month to give relevant organisational mapping. Quarterly publications in January, April, July and October will include Lower Layer Super Output Area (LSOA) populations.

The outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID-19) has led to changes in the work of General Practices and subsequently the data within this publication. Until activity in this healthcare setting stabilises, we urge caution in drawing any conclusions from these data without consideration of the country's circumstances and would recommend that any uses of these data are accompanied by an appropriate caveat.
