This code and resulting map were created by Francis Barton of Citizens Online in March-April 2020.

See:

• this page for RMarkdown output and "behind the scenes"
• our blog post launching the map, and
• the map page and explanatory text.

Data and webpage information last updated January 2021.

Here's a listing of the contents of the data directory in my local repository. As you can see, the file sizes are quite large so I haven't uploaded this folder to GitHub.

library(dplyr)
tibble(files = list.files("data", recursive = TRUE)) %>% 
  mutate(size_mb = round(file.size(paste0("data/", files))/2^20))

# A tibble: 6 x 2
  files                                size_mb
  <chr>                                  <dbl>
1 gp-reg-pat-prac-sing-age-regions.csv       3
2 ons_nspcl_data.Rds                        17
3 POMI_APR2020_to_APR2020.csv               11
4 surgery_data_raw.csv                      21
