Data quality

Type of data	Administrative data
Reliability	The information presented here provides details of the location of all 10,776 GP practices and branch surgeries in England, which were operating on April 2004. 97.9% of the data have been successfully geo-referenced. 230 (2.1%) surgeries were not geo-referenced, therefore will not appear as points in this dataset.

Additional information and context

Background information	A general practice surgery may either be a single surgery, or many surgery sites belonging to one practice. The dataset covers static point locations of GP services. Other health services such as mobile GPs, 'Walk In ' and home visits are not covered.
