To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S1W-4620 by Susan Deacon on 7 March 2000, what the average number of patients per general practitioner is in (a) urban areas, (b) rural areas and (c) island communities.

Average Number of Patients per General Practitioner¹ in Scotland by Type of Area: as at 1 October 2004

	Average Number of Patients per GP¹ by:
	Headcount	WTE²
Urban Areas³	1,449	1,556
Rural Areas³	1,094	1,190
Island Communities⁴	775	866

Notes:

1. Vacated posts for GP Performers (formally Principals) and the patients attached to these posts have been included in the calculations.

2. Whole-time equivalent.

3. Excluding “Island Communities”. Data for “Urban Areas” and “Rural Areas” are based upon urban/rural indicators, at postcode level, derived from the 2001 Census compiled by the General Register Office for Scotland.

4. Data for “Island Communities” are based upon “Island” indicators in both rural and urban areas at postcode level, derived from the 2001 Census compiled by the General Register Office for Scotland.

In order for a comparison to be made between 2004 and 1998 data, we are able to update information previously supplied in question S1W-4620 answered on 7 March 2000. This is due to more robust rural/urban information being available, using data derived from the General Register for Scotland 2001 Census. Using the more robust definitions the comparable figures for 1998 would have been:

Average Number of Patients Per General Practitioner in Scotland by Type of Area: as at 1 October 1998

	Average number of patients per GP¹ by:
