Where to obtain list of CDS ratings?

Is there a website which gives an uptodate list of CDS ratings for banks? I'm the first to admit I don't know what defines a 'safe' bank these days, but the CDS rating appears to give some sort of representation as far as I can tell. So, is there such a list? To make it useful, it would have to be updated on a daily rate, if not more frequently!

Thanks.

    That was a link to HSBC's share price, not CDS referencing it.

    Markit desktop is pretty good.

    If you've got a spare £10,000 pa obviously. CDS spreads aren't freely available as it is an over the counter market.

    In addition to the share price the end column gives the risk grade.
