According to a new report, Britain has less doctors, nurses, hospital beds and diagnostic equipment, compared to other affluent countries.

The Economist Intelligence Unit stated that the NHS is inferior compared with other western countries. This is due to Britain spending less ob healthcare.

It is said that the UK have only 2.8 doctors and 8.2 nurses per 10,000. Where as the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries have an average of 3.2 doctors and 8.9 nurses. The Economist Intelligence Unit says that this is an unsettling sign because of the correlation between staff numbers and survivals in Britain.
