The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many full-time equivalent GPs were employed (a) in the latest period for which data is available and (b) five years ago in Wiltshire.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

The number of full-time equivalent (FTE) doctors in general practice (GP) in Wiltshire was:

  • 328.0 FTE in March 2025; and
  • 309.3 FTE in March 2020.

GPs employed through the Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme are not included as they are employed by primary care networks (PCNs), rather than directly by practices. PCNs’ work may occur across county borders, so it is not possible to say how many PCN employed staff work in Wiltshire.
