The sentence each figure was read from (10)

Read in full, publishes no figure

57 named sources were read in full on the dates shown and print no usable figure. They are counted, never filled in.

Methodology

Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through our fetch service on the date shown, hash-pinned to the stored read (the sha of the page's visible text; the raw page is mirrored to R2).

10 of the 67 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 57 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 1 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere.

The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source in GBP (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 461 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded.

The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): the median, minimum and maximum PUBLISHED self-pay price per procedure across every UK provider that publishes one, split by provider type (hospital group, single-site independent, diagnostics chain, primary-care clinic) and by region, with London measured against the rest; the share of providers that publish a number at all against those that quote only after consultation, which is the finding nobody else states; the cheapest published provider per procedure per region; and repriced-since the previous read.

461 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
