		Predictor variables: adjusted regression coefficients, B (95% CI)^{^a}
GP Patient Survey question^{^b}	Median (interquartile range)	GP training practice	% registered patients aged ≥65 years	IMD, 2010 score	Ethnicity: South Asian, %	Ethnicity: Black African or Caribbean, %	Practice list size	Practice list size per GP	Female GPs, %	Mean GP age, years
Q38: Ease of contacting the OOH GP service by telephone, % very easy	39.2 (30.0–50.0)	n/s	n/s	n/s	−0.11 (−0.14 to −0.08)	−0.15 (−0.23 to −0.07)	−0.21 (−0.31 to −0.12)	n/s	n/s	0.10 (0.03 to 0.16)
Q39: Impression of how quickly OOH care was received, % about right	64.7 (54.5–73.9)	n/s	0.11 (0.03 to 0.19)	0.04 (0.01 to 0.07)	−0.12 (−0.15 to −0.09)	−0.34 (−0.42 to −0.26)	n/s	n/s	n/s	n/s
Q40: Confidence and trust in OOH clinician % yes to definitely	40.0 (30.8–50.0)	n/s	0.08 (0.00 to 0.16)	0.04 (0.01 to 0.06)	−0.08 (−0.11 to −0.05)	−0.22 (−0.30 to −0.14)	−0.22 (−0.31 to −0.12)	−1.03 (−1.71 to −0.35)	n/s	0.15 (0.09 to 0.21)
Q41: Overall experience of OOH GP (23.3–41.7) services, % very good	31.8	n/s	n/s	0.03 (0.00 to 0.05)	−0.09 (−0.12 to −0.06)	−0.19 (−0.27 to −0.12)	−0.16 (−0.25 to −0.07)	−1.14 (−1.80 to −0.48)	n/s	0.16 (0.10 to 0.22)

↵a B values only included if P <0.05; values for P >0.05 denoted by ‘n/s’ (not significant).
↵b Questionnaire numbers as they appear on the GP Patient Survey, 2011/2012. FTE = full-time equivalent. IMD = Index of Multiple Deprivation. OOH = out of hours.
