HC Deb 28 January 1976 vol 904 c255W
Mr. George Rodgers

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if she will publish in the Official Report the number of family medical practitioners and dentists serving the Chorley constituency per head of population and the average figures for the population of the United Kingdom.

Dr. Owen

Information in the form requested is not available. The following table relates figures for the Lancashire Family Practitioner Committee area, in which Chorley is situated, to those for Great Britain.

General Medical Practitioners (unrestricted Principals per 10,000 population) General Dental Practitioners per 10,000 population)
Lancashire FPC 4.1 1.8
Great Britain 4.5 2.3

Five of the nine medical practice areas in Chorley are designated and thus attract special allowances for doctors.
