All GP Practices are required to declare the mean earnings (e.g. average pay) for GPs working to deliver GP services to patients at each practice.

The average pay for GPs working at Staithe Surgery in the last financial year was £116,967 before tax and National Insurance. This is for 5 part time GPs who worked in the Practice for more than six months.

However, it should be noted that the prescribed method for calculating earnings is potentially misleading because it takes no account of how much time doctors spend working in the Practice and should not be used to form any judgement about GP earnings, nor to make any comparison with any other practice.

Information about the general practitioners and the practice required for disclosure under this act can be made available to the public. All requests for such information should be made in writing to the practice manager.

Charges may be levied for hard copies of requested information, multiple copies, or copying onto media such as CD-ROM. Charges will be in accordance with the Freedom of Information and Data Protection (Appropriate Limit and Fees) Regulations 2004.

If you feel you would like a chaperone present at your consultation, please inform your doctor or nurse who will be more than happy to arrange this for you.
