The number of GP practices in England fell from 7,686 in 2015 to 6,359 in 2025, while the number of homes rose by around 2m over the same period As a result, the number of homes served per average GP practice rose from 3,066 in 2015 to 3,976 in 2025.

There are no specialists in GP practices other than GPs The average number of patients / GP has increased from 1800 to 2300 so there are fewer GPs per head of population The amount paid to practices/ person has fallen 20% in 10y The average income has also fallen 20-25% There are unemployed GPs
