The CQC doesn’t rate dentists, and new services wait for a first inspection, so not every service has a rating.

Where the figures come from

The Care Quality Commission publishes every registered health and care service and its latest rating, under the Open Government Licence. We keep those at PL postcodes and show here the ones in Plymouth. Home-care agencies are often run from someone’s home, so they show their street only.
