|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GP Patient Survey questionb | Median (interquartile range) | GP training practice | % registered patients aged ≥65 years | IMD, 2010 score | Ethnicity: South Asian, % | Ethnicity: Black African or Caribbean, % | Practice list size | Practice list size per FTE GP | Female GPs, % | Mean GP age, years |
| Q28: Overall experience of GP surgery, % very good | 51.5 (41.8–61.3) | 1.52 (0.76 to 2.29) | 0.32 (0.26 to 0.38) | −0.05 (−0.07 to −0.03) | −0.18 (−0.20 to −0.16) | −0.15 (−0.21 to −0.10) | −0.92 (−1.00 to −0.85) | −3.02 (−3.52 to −2.53) | −0.01 (−0.03 to −0.00) | 0.05 (0.00 to 0.09) |
| Q29: Recommending GP surgery to someone who has just moved to local area, % yes definitely | 54.3 (44.2–64.2) | 1.98 (1.16 to 2.81) | 0.23 (0.16 to 0.29) | −0.09 (−0.12 to −0.07) | −0.16 (−0.19 to −0.14) | −0.06 (−0.12 to −0.00) | −0.57 (−0.65 to −0.49) | −3.32 (−3.85 to −2.78) | n/s | −0.09 (−0.14 to −0.05) |
