:
| For these indicators, a higher score is better than a lower score. However, for consistency, local authorities have still been ranked from 1 (best) to 43 (worst). |
| # |
:
| Data for these indicators are only available at top-tier local authority level, so individual figures are not available for local authority districts within Cheshire, Cumbria and Lancashire county council (top-tier local authority) areas. Local authority districts in these areas have been assigned their respective top-tier local authority value. |
| $ |
:
| Data for these indicators are only available at pre-2006 primary care trust level. Therefore, some neighbouring local authorities have been assigned the same value. This may be because the primary care trust area covers two or more local authority areas, or because some primary care trust areas do not readily correspond to local authority boundaries (and so two or more primary care trust area values have been aggregated and this value assigned to the local authorities within the area as a whole). In addition, some local authorities have been assigned the aggregate value of the two or more primary care trust values that are wholly contained within that local authority area. |
