NOT COMPLETE DO NOT USE This is the data from the Vascular surgery mortality rates PDF's released as part of the latest 'transparency' phase from the NHS.

carl plant / Copy of AQP NHS Contracts nhsforsale.info
124 lines of code. 21 rows of data.
Created 9 months ago.
A copy of the original scraper I produced. This one is an attempt to scrape from a different URI following a request and the results are quite crap. This is because the individual pages on the contracts website have inconsistent formatting. My original scraper was built to tidy up a number of inconsistent page layouts but now there's more to tidy up.
