Practice to ICB mapping

An issue was identified with national reference data that caused 25 practices to be mapped to an incorrect ICB that impacted this publication. This issue has now been corrected and the following files updated with the correct mappings:

  • Patients Registered at a GP Practice – November 2025: Single year of age (Commissioning Regions-ICBs-SICBLs-PCNs)
  • Patients Registered at a GP Practice – November 2025: 5-year age groups (Commissioning Regions-ICBs-SICBLs-PCNs-GP practice)
  • Patients Registered at a GP Practice – November 2025: Mapping (Commissioning Regions- ICBs-SICBLs-PCNs-GP practice)

National, sub ICB and practice list size totals were not impacted by the above issue.

Summary

Data for this publication are extracted each month as a snapshot in time from the Primary Care Registration database within the PDS (Personal Demographics Service) system. This release is an accurate snapshot as at 1 December 2025.

Figures are reported by gender and single year of age (SYOA) and five-year age bands (up to age 95+) at GP Practice, Primary Care Network (PCN), Sub Integrated Care Board Location (SICBL), Integrated Care Board (ICB) and NHS England Commissioning Region levels. In addition, organisational mapping data is available to derive PCN, SICBL, ICB, and Commissioning Region for each GP practice and is updated each month to give relevant organisational mapping.

Quarterly publications in January, April, July and October will include Lower Layer Super Output Area (LSOA) populations.
