Notes:

1. GP workforce numbers are not available by constituency. Manchester, Withington constituency is contained within and serviced by NHS South Manchester CCG and NHS Central Manchester CCG. Prior to the formation of CCGs the Manchester, Withington constituency was contained within and serviced by Manchester PCT.
2. (1) There were an additional 228 full time equivalent GP Registrars in 2011 and 198 full time equivalent GP Registrars in 2012, training in England and paid via the Electronic Staff Record System (ESR). These ESR records were not included in the annual GP census publication but were included in the Medical and Dental Census.
3. (2) In 2013-2015, there were a number of GP Registrars training in Lancashire and Greater Manchester paid via the Electronic Staff Record system (ESR). The figures shown in the table for these years are full time equivalents but cannot be attributed to a specific CCG within Lancashire and Greater Manchester. Some of these GP Registrars may be working in NHS South Manchester CCG and Central Manchester CCG in 2013-2015.
4. (3) Prior to 2015, figures are sourced from NHAIS GP Payments (Exeter) System. From 2015, figures are sourced from the workforce Minimum Dataset (wMDS) and include estimates for missing data. Figures from 2015 are not comparable with previous years.
5. '.' denotes not applicable.
6. The Health and Social Care Information Centre seeks to minimise inaccuracies and the effect of missing and invalid data but responsibility for data accuracy lies with the organisations providing the data. Methods are continually being updated to improve data quality where changes impact on figures already published. This is assessed but unless it is significant at national level figures are not changed. Impact at detailed or local level is footnoted in relevant analyses.
