A line chart from the Institute for Government showing average payment per weighted patient in general practice, by patient list deprivation, 2013/14–2023/24 (2025/26 prices), where overall, average payment was on the rise until a methodology change in 2018. After 2018, average payment flattened before declining steadily from 2021/22 onwards. Throughout, practices with more deprived patient lists received lower average payments than those with less deprived patients.
