GP registration in England is a little bit complex. If you live within the GP catchment area, and their list is open, they must register you and there are very limited reasons why they can decline that registration. GPs must offer certain services to this group of patients, including home visits if needed and an out of hours service (although that's often contracted out). If you live outside the catchment area they have a choice. They can either: register you and provide full service, or register you but not provide out of hours or home visits, or not register you.
