‘All GP practices are required to declare the mean earnings for GPs working to deliver NHS services to patients at each practice.

The mean earnings for GPs working at Darwen Healthcare in the last reported financial year was £68,549 before tax and National Insurance. This was for 2 full-time GPs and 7 part-time GPs .’
