General Practitioners: Cramlington and Killingworth

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what estimate his Department has made of how many and what proportion of people living in Cramlington and Killingworth constituency are not registered with a GP.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

We do not hold the number of people not registered with a general practice (GP), or individual patient’s addresses. As of 1 June 2024, there were 74,697 patients registered at GPs with a postcode in the Cramlington and Killingworth constituency. The data provided has been sourced from NHS England and shows the number of patients registered with a GP in the Cramlington and Killingworth constituency. This data is not directly comparable to local population data as parliamentary constituencies do not line up with GP practice catchment boundaries, so some patients will be registered to a GP in a different constituency.
