Please be aware that this data covers the time period through the COVID-19 pandemic. Provider performance should therefore be interpreted with caution.
In addition to this, some providers were justifiably not able to make timely data returns or validate their data in this period. We recommend looking at the historical trend data of services before the COVID-19 pandemic to help interpret the data.
