The tables below show average spend per registered patient on general practice services in Knowsley Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and in England in each of the last three years for which data is available. Data broken down by comparator CCG is not held centrally.

This data is taken from the NHS Payments to General Practice Reports published by NHS Digital. These payments are primarily monies paid through the National Health Applications and Infrastructure Services system, although the 2015/16 figures also captured some Local Enhanced Services payments that were made by CCGs.

These payments do not necessarily represent all allocations for general practice as some funding is centrally managed. Due to additional funding collected this year and changes to the way the data has been collected, the data for different years are not directly comparable.
