57,123 locations regulated by the Care Quality Commission in England, read on 28 October 2026. 14,872 are care homes, with their bed counts. About 14,000 are home care agencies, 12,123 dental practices and about 9,250 GP sites. The rest are hospitals, clinics and ambulance services. Each row has the location type, its services and who it serves, the overall CQC rating and the five key-question ratings, the provider and its Companies House number, and the NHS region. 92% have a phone and 52% a website. Every row but one has a map point. CQC publishes no email addresses. It does not name managers in its open data, and this list keeps no person's name.

The file has all 57,123 locations in one download. Building the same list by searching one area at a time tends to miss places, and a missed place looks like a gap in coverage that is not really there.

## Questions

### Where does this data come from?

From the Care Quality Commission. The universe is CQC's daily care directory of 28 October 2026. Register details and ratings come from CQC's monthly register and ratings files of 1 October 2026. It is published under the Open Government Licence v3.0 and contains CQC data.

### Is there an email for each location?

No. CQC does not publish email addresses. 92% of locations have a phone and 52% a website. The provider's head office phone and website are in their own columns.

### Does it cover Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland?

No. CQC regulates care in England only. Each of the other nations has its own regulator.

### What kinds of care are in it?

Care homes with and without nursing, home care agencies, GP practices, dentists, hospitals, clinics and ambulance services. location_type, primary_inspection_category and service_types tell them apart.

### Is any row placed in the U.S.?

No. Every row is in England with a UK postcode. No row is placed in a U.S. state, county or ZIP code.

### How is this data cleaned?

Every rebuild runs the same steps and counts what each one changed. For the current file, rebuilt October 28, 2026 from cqc.org.uk: Merged 0 duplicate listings that had the same business name, street address and ZIP code, keeping every filled-in detail from both (October 28, 2026). Unified 0 city names written more than one way within the same ZIP code (for example with and without a space or an abbreviation) to the US Census Bureau spelling (October 28, 2026). Corrected 0 misspelled city names to the US Census Bureau place name for their ZIP code (October 28, 2026). Added map coordinates to 0 listings that had none, from the US Census Bureau address geocoder or, where the street address could not be matched, the centre of the ZIP code (October 28, 2026). Set the county and its federal county code on 0 listings, matched to the US Census Bureau county list from the county the source records, the listing's map point, or its ZIP code area (October 28, 2026). Checked every map point against the state in its address and re-placed 0 points that fell outside that state (October 28, 2026). Flagged 22,636 addresses that are incomplete, a PO box, or missing a house number, in an address quality column (October 28, 2026). Checked that the row count, state count and field completeness published for this file were measured from the file itself (October 28, 2026).

### Isn't this free on cqc.org.uk?

The underlying records are public on cqc.org.uk. What you pay for is the work between that public release and this file: flagged 22,636 incomplete addresses and measured 57,123 rows. The current file was rebuilt October 28, 2026 from cqc.org.uk. Doing it yourself means downloading the full release, repeating each of those steps, and repeating them again every time the source updates.

### How complete is each field?

Measured on every row of the current file, the share of rows that carry each key field: phone 92%, website 52%, street address 100%, city 100%, latitude 100%, longitude 100%. 69 of 80 columns are filled on at least half the rows.
