Summary
** 13th May 2014
It was identified that the patient charges data were incorrect in the first version of this publication. In Annex 1, the data in table 6a were incorrect for dates prior to 2012/13. Data were also incorrect in the Report (Table 6a and corresponding text), Annex 2 (PCT and SHA - Table F2) and Annex 4 (Raw Data). This has now been revised. The errors are fully documented in Annex 5. Please contact [email protected] for further information. **
**Please note; "patients seen" data for the period ending 30 June 2013 are under-reported in this publication. Since the release of these figures we have discovered that there is a gap in the coverage of the underlying data. This is attributed to practices which opened between 1 April 2013 and 30 June 2013. As they could not be attributed to PCTs, which were the organisational basis of the dataset, the data for these new practices was mistakenly not included. The impact of this under-reporting is small, representing less than 0.2 per cent of the national total.
Revised data for the period ending 30 June 2013 will be provided in the first quarterly report for 2013/14, to be published on 6 December 2013. We apologise for any confusion caused by this error.
