6505 shades of multiple deprivation

Where would we be without league tables?

Schools with the best exam results, Trip Advisor's best restaurants, the 50 most historic moments from Coronation Street.

Some are less cheery, such as Scottish hospitals with the highest surgical death rates. (The NHS in England is going further with a ranking of individual surgeons with the highest rate of patient death under the knife.) Anyway, you might like to have a peek at the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD). It is on a nice and shiny Government website with many bells and whistles.
