Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what the highest ten incomes for GP practices were in each of the last 5 years for which figures are available.

This information is not held in the format requested. However, NHS Digital publishes an annual summary of National Health Service payments to general practices. These payments relate to all categories of funding paid to general practices, such as payments for direct patient care, information technology, premises, waste disposal and dispensing. The data constitutes the payments made to the practice or the invoices processed during the reporting period. It excludes additional payments which may be provided by local authorities, accruals, prepayments, other accounting adjustments and payments for non-contractual work.

Tables showing NHS payments made to the practices with the highest ten incomes in each year from 2016/17 to 2020/21 is attached. The data for 2020/21 is shown in two tables, firstly excluding payments for COVID-19 vaccinations, support and expansion and the second including such payments.
