Variation in the PCN configurations across CCGs
| Mean | P10 | Median | P90 | Decile ratioa | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PCNs, n | 9.3 | 4.0 | 6.0 | 18.0 | 4.5 |
| PCNs in target population size range, % | 54.8 | 25.0 | 57.1 | 80.1 | 3.2 |
| CCG population in CCG’s largest PCN, % | 24.2 | 9.6 | 21.7 | 40.4 | 4.2 |
| CCG practices in CCG’s largest PCN, % | 25.5 | 10.8 | 22.2 | 40.0 | 3.7 |
| Ratio of largest to smallest PCN population in the CCGb | 2.4 | 1.5 | 2.2 | 3.5 | 2.4 |
a
The decile ratio is the ratio of the upper bound value of the ninth decile (that is, the 10% of PCNs with highest values, P90) to that of the first (P10).
b
Analysis restricted to 132 CCGs (over 135) with at least two PCNs.
CCG = clinical commissioning group. P10 = tenth percentile score. P90 = 90th percentile score. PCN = primary care network.
