TopoJson for NHS areas

[PabloLeon]

There doesn't seem to be a ready-made file of boundary data so I will need to create it myself.

We want:

• [x] UK + full Ireland (since if we only take Northern Ireland it looks like another island)
• [x] England, Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland boundaries
• [ ] NHS trust boundaries, Scottish, Welsh and NI equivalents
• [x] Cities
• [x] Hospital locations

For the first version ignore Scotland, Wales and NI and simply take the NUTS areas for England and split up London into the HEE areas (https://hee.nhs.uk/hee-your-area).

The level of encoding should be NUTS3, also include Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Nuts3 does not match up to the Hee health areas - therefore we do not need those. The map for the prototype only need:

• Areas for Ireland, Scotland, Wales & England
• Cities

Area of the british isles is : "coordinates": [ [ [ -11.49169921875, 49.82380908513249 ], [ 2.57080078125, 49.82380908513249 ], [ 2.57080078125, 61.13262899079795 ], [ -11.49169921875, 61.13262899079795 ], [ -11.49169921875, 49.82380908513249 ] ]

Roughly centered point: "coordinates": [ -2.5927734375, 54.78801734817893 ]

I need to split this into two files (populated areas and boundaries) and also clean the file a bit...
