Facilities in the MFL can be located via search and geolocation.
The homepage has a search field that searches facilities by their code, name e.t.c.
The results of the search are shown alongside the advanced search. Using the advanced search the query can be fine tuned e.g. viewing facilities in a certain ward.
The facility advanced search can also be accessed directly by selecting the find facilities button in the top navigation bar.
The advanced search form on the left has fields that can further specify your search.
There's an export facilities option that enables users to export and download the filtered facilities in excel format.
