General description

Data for full time equivalents between 2004 and 2013 previously published in this table have been removed due to concerns about the accuracy of the data collection method.

The information here shows data on the number/proportion of general practitioners in Wales.

Data collection and calculation

The data is provided by the NHS Digital, who collect data for Wales using the Exeter database. This database is a computerised payment system of General Medical Practitioners (GMPs) who are in contract with Local Health Boards.

Whole time Equivalent figures have been omitted since 2015 following concerns expressed by users about data quality. Whole time Equivalent figures will be published once the issue has been fully investigated and resolved. Headcount figures are unaffected.
