1 Data excludes Medical HPCAs, most of which are GPs working part-time in hospitals

1. Data as at 30 September each year

2. Data are shown here by organisations in operation at the time

3. GP Practice data prior to 2001 is not available in the Milton Keynes area due to the regional division of predecessor organisations

4. Data Quality

The NHS Information Centre for health and social care 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.
