Data Source

The current data source for Patients Registered at a GP Practice is National Health Applications and Infrastructure Services (NHAIS) which has been decommissioned. The data source will change to Personal Demographics Service (PDS) for 2024/25. There are no planned changes to the format of the publication documents.

For this publication, monthly outputs are available from both data sources to allow comparison and transition. We have also updated the data quality statement with more information.
