  • a Deprivation score weighted by the proportion of the practice in each of the five deprivation quintiles: 1 (most affluent) to 5 (most deprived). For example, Practice 8 has a lower proportion of patients in quintile 1, but has a higher score as almost all their patients live in postcodes in the two most deprived quintiles.
