How busy is my GP? Here are the surgeries with the most patients per doctor in Dewsbury, Batley and Spen

On average, there are 1,719 patients for every full-time-equivalent GP in England.

The figures, a snapshot from August 31 of this year, were published by NHS Digital.

The GP-to-patient ratio is only one way of looking at how busy a surgery is.

Most surgeries will also have other staff treating patients, such as nurses, physiotherapists and midwives.

Sometimes, a surgery might appear to have a low number of GPs because it shares staff with a neighbouring practice. Alternatively, it may have been in the process of recruiting when it supplied its staffing figures to the NHS.
