As far as I can tell - these are aggregations of smaller areas ('STP' and 'ICS') that the local NHS have chosen for administration of local healthcare. So because 'South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw STP' exists, the wider NE/Yorks region has to include the Bassetlaw part of Notts too

I don't think I've come across anything else quite as egregious that was done on purpose as those London-segmenting school regions.

Cautionary note when looking at vaccine data for NHS regions in England: their boundaries are sometimes different from what the names suggest. The biggest difference is "North East & Yorkshire", which extends to North Cumbria and part of Nottinghamshire, but excludes Bentham.

Also relevant for other NHS region data, e.g. hospital admissions, of course

NEW video from me & @tomhannen addressing more myths that have been used to play down Covid this winter. Featuring: • Why delays in death registration (& bad charts) wrongly led people to think there was minimal excess mortality • "Excess winter deaths" are not "excess deaths"
The FT's @jburnmurdoch explains why the UK's Covid-19 death rate is likely to rise further. Watch the full video: ft.com/video/0cd6f9f9-664e-4…

The government says the coronavirus rules are tough enough. The problem is compliance I've been looking at the data and it says something quite different… sort of A THREAD on what’s going on
