How we compile this
Figures are counted from our own database, which is built from the public registers of the Care Quality Commission in England and the Care Inspectorate in Scotland, plus details care providers publish on their own profiles. We do not estimate, model or interpolate: where a group is too small to report honestly, we leave it out and say so.
