The underlying CQC directory data is published by Care Quality Commission under their reuse terms, which are aligned with the Open Government Licence v3.0. You may reuse it under those terms. Crown copyright applies to the data itself.

The site's code, design, editorial content and brand are © Digital Signet. You may quote with attribution.
