Regulated care locations in England (CQC) — statistics
Every health and social care location regulated by the Care Quality Commission in England — hospitals, care homes, GP practices, dentists, homecare agencies, hospices, ambulance services — with service types, specialisms, provider, address and area, local authority, region, and the date of the latest CQC check. From the official weekly CQC care directory, keyed by the stable CQC location id. Phone numbers are dropped at ingest; registered-manager names are never ingested.

what changed (last 30 days)
No diff yet — the feed starts with the dataset's second daily refresh.
This register diffs itself every morning. Poll the delta instead of the whole
dataset: GET /v1/changes/uk-care-locations?since=2026-09-24 (add
change=added|removed|changed), or the MCP tool get_changes. One
credit per page, 90-day history — a daily diff of every register fits the free tier.
