I have explained to my Manager that the map will need hours of manual work and so have been given a stay of execution - I only need to plot the 56 pharmacies expressing an interest in providing emergency response.

It is a necessary task, not make-work, but it's going to take a while. I'm plotting pharmacies (so far) that are willing to provide emergency cover if parts of the city are evacuated. It's important because if all the pharmacies responding were on the South side of the city and the South side of the city was evacuated we'd have problems.

The most important thing people leave behind when they are evacuated (according to Government data) is their medication.

But it comes down to me with a spreadsheet of responses, an A-Z (this is not my home city) and a stack of pins. And the next stage involves the GP surgeries.

Thanks to those who responded btw. We're still going to do it by the sweat of my brow!
