Data Source:
The previous data source for Patients Registered at a GP Practice was National Health Applications and Infrastructure Services (NHAIS) which has been decommissioned. The data source has now changed to Personal Demographics Service (PDS). There were no changes to the format of the publication documents.
This publication includes LSOA files produced from the new data source PDS. The files are available with the LSOA 2021 census codes and LSOA 2011 census codes. Unfortunately, we experienced issues this month and used an alternative process to generate the LSOA files – we have aimed for consistency with previous outputs and apologise for any minor differences you may encounter

Summary
Data for this publication are extracted each month as a snapshot in time from the Primary Care Registration database within the PDS (Patient Demographic Service) system. This release is an accurate snapshot as at 1 July 2024.
GP Practice; Primary Care Network (PCN); Sub Integrated Care Board Locations (SICBL); Integrated Care Board (ICB) and NHS England Commissioning Region level data are released in single year of age (SYOA) and 5-year age bands, both of which finish at 95+, split by gender. In addition, organisational mapping data is available to derive PCN; SICBL; ICB and Commissioning Region associated with a 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. This publication includes LSOA files produced from the new data source PDS. The files are available with the LSOA 2021 census codes and LSOA 2011 census codes – these are labelled in the zip file titles and the 2011 csv files have been marked with a suffix.
Due to the change in data source and processing, there are differences to previous files. The totals in the LSOA files may not match the totals in practice files – we’re looking into explanations for these differences however initial analysis shows there are small differences at practice level. Unfortunately, we experienced issues this month and used an alternative process to generate the files – we have aimed for consistency with previous outputs and apologise for any minor differences you may encounter. English and Welsh LSOAs are included and all other instances are categorised as “OTHER”.
