One score out of 100 for each NHS England region, from every trust's own published patient information, measured the same way everywhere.
Every trust writes its own patient information, to its own standard. So the same condition comes with very different information depending on the postcode. That is a health inequality, and it can be measured.
Each region's number is the median of the trusts measured there. A region gets a number once at least three of its trusts are measured in full; until then it is grey. The colour deepens as the score rises, from a pale lilac to the medrics purple at 100.
The score is made up of seven measures of a trust's published patient information: whether it is kept up to date, whether it can be read at the NHS reading age, whether its links still load, whether other formats and languages are signposted, whether a phone can translate it, whether driving and flying advice is given where the rules apply, and how much of what patients need it covers. Six of the seven are measured today and a trust's score is scaled to 100 from those six; coverage joins the score once it is measured for every estate. Trusts receive the full breakdown in their report. How we measure.
The score is the headline. Your report is the whole story, written to be acted on:
