How this average is built
Averages use only published (non-estimated) amounts greater than zero within treatment-specific plausibility bounds, excluding prices last checked more than 180 days ago. Listing-only directory practices are excluded. Treat figures as a live directional sample, not a census of every UK clinic.
Current comparable sample: 16 clinics with usable published prices across 16 locations (Callerton, Didsbury, Doncaster, Evesham, Feltham). This is not the full practices-indexed directory. Listing-only rows, estimated figures, stale prices, and £0 fields are excluded from averages.
