Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what proportion of patients who used accident and emergency services in England were not registered with a GP or primary care provider; and how many of those patients were non-UK nationals in each year from 2010 to 2015.

The attached document shows the following information:

- Total count of Unplanned A&E Attendances in each year

- A count of attendances where the patient GP Practice has been recorded as V81997 - No registered GP Practice, broken down by the Commissioning Region of residence of the patient for each year.

This data does not represent the number of patients, as an individual may have more than one attendance at accident and emergency in any given period.

Please be aware of the following when interpreting the data:

The Commissioning Region of residence is derived from the patient’s postcode of home address. A default value can be used to identify records where the patient is not normally resident in the United Kingdom. Where the postcode recorded is invalid or left blank the Commissioning Region will be recorded as Unknown.
