HC Deb 12 July 1985 vol 82 cc548-9W
Mr. Barry Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what was the total number of Welsh people registered with a general practitioner at the latest convenient date; and what proportion of the population this represented.

Mr. Nicholas Edwards

At 1 April 1985, the number of patients registered on general practitioner lists held by the eight family practitioner committees in Wales totalled 2,902,800. This was 3.4 per cent. more than the estimated population of Wales, the excess being primarily due to the dual registration of patients who are tranferring between doctors, and are temporarily included on both lists.
