Data available for 2020
Changes as of October 2021
As of the reporting year 2020, the CBS is provided with the population of general medical practice in a different form than before: the secondary addresses of general medical practice are no longer part of the population. As a result of this change in the source files, the results from reporting year 2020 are no longer comparable to those of previous years. An analysis for reporting year 2019 on the effect of omission of the secondary addresses shows that the distance to the nearest GP practice at national level increases by 0.1 km. At local level, the distance can be extended to 7 km in certain regions.
