A hex cartogram of UK constituencies coloured by the number of NHS (or Public Health Scotland, or Health Social Care Northern Ireland) dentists. The colour scale goes from 0 to 30+. Parts of central and north west London, Northern Ireland, and Scotland have more dentists per constituency. The Cities of London and Westminster have 36 NHS dentists, Glasgow North has 33, Belfast South and Mid Down has 31. Stoke-on-Trent South, South Northamptonshir, and South Norfolk only have 5 dentists.
