This measures registered locations, not actual service capacity. It does not show appointment availability, staffing, waiting times, travel time, patient eligibility or quality. A zero means no mapped public CQC location in this particular group.
City of London needs special care. Its small resident population and large daily worker population can produce unusually high resident-based rates.

Methodology and limitations
Ranking measure
Current public-search CQC locations mapped by postcode to current council geography, divided by the council's 2025 resident population.
Service groups
Each location is counted under its primary service group. The all-healthcare measure includes all groups available through the public location search.
Latest check date
Check-date coverage is shown for context only. A check date is not a rating and is never used as a quality score.
Geographic scope
CQC regulates England. Welsh healthcare services are not included and would require a separate Healthcare Inspectorate Wales dataset.
