Data availability and transparency in the health sector has become a hot topic recently. With the release of CQC audited locations and now the delayed Care.data project, the importance of data and accessibility is being tackled by an entire industry and one of the world’s largest employers, the NHS.

To demonstrate a small part of the monumental task involved we have created an image showing all of the locations covered by the CQC within York. As you can see from the image in just one city there are approximately 150 individual locations to monitor, with some services more predominant as one would expect…

  • 33 Dental Services
  • 27 Care in your home and supported living
  • 21 Care homes without nursing
  • 20 GP practices

With the more specialist services and hospitals being much fewer in number.
