There have been changes to the NHS England and Improvement regional structure since this release. From 1st July 2022, Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) were established as statutory bodies replacing CCGs and STPs. From the Primary Care Workforce Quarterly Update, 30 June 2022 publication, data is instead aggregated to Sub-ICB Location, and ICB level. These geography updates also involved boundary changes, with some practices and Primary Care Networks (PCNs) moving to different Sub-ICB Locations and ICBs than they would previously have been situated.
In order to have a consistent and comparable time series at regional level, the collated Direct Patient Care (DPC) FTE CSVs for all periods back to September 2021 were reproduced as part of the 30 June 2022 release, with practices, PCNs and Sub-ICB Locations remapped to reflect this latest structure. National totals are unaffected by this remapping but some figures at Sub-ICB (previously CCG) and ICB (previously STP) levels may differ to those previously published.
All regional bulletin tables and CSVs presented here reflect the old structure. Users are encouraged to use the remapped CSV files released with the 30 June 2022 publication for historical regional collated DPC FTE figures.
