GPs in deprived areas are responsible for caring for 2,450 patients per head – over 300 more patients per GP than in more affluent areas of the country. Research published by the Royal College of GPs ahead of its annual conference in Liverpool reveals that the number of patients per fully qualified, full time GP working in areas with the highest level of income deprivation has increased by an average of 260 in the past six years – a rise of 12% and nearly twice the rate of those in the least deprived areas.
