Caveats

  • Counts patients registered at GP practices in the area; they do not necessarily all live in the authority.
  • Recorded depression is not all depression in the community. Differences in access, diagnosis and coding affect the figure.
  • The local-authority feed is one release behind the newest national QOF publication.
  • 95% confidence interval: 13.16% to 13.37%.
  • Derived from the published point estimates for 152 upper-tier authorities with data. Exact ties share a rank. Overlapping confidence intervals mean nearby ranks may not be meaningfully different.
  • A lower recorded prevalence is not automatically better; it can reflect under-diagnosis or access differences.
