    Depends how you cut the stats I guess
    Scotland performs slightly worse in terms of target (as the target is higher) but as a % overall performs better than the other three areas. I'm sure Whinestrone won't agree though.

    Found my own answer to the question. Though the figures are about 3 years old linky

    In short Northern Irish and Welsh people aren't as unhealthy as Scottish people or as healthy as English people.

    Do people in Northern Ireland and Wales have a lower average (median) healthy life expectancy than those in England and Scotland?

The SNP like to tell everyone that they are on the side of the underdog but really they just go after middle class votes.

    "poorer living conditions historically" is surely an indication that we cannot look after ourselves. The evidence is that England has better health at less expense, maybe we should just let them run our NHS, Sturgeon has done a pretty crap job it has to be said in her time looking after the service.

    Your Alexander prediction (the guy who stabbed his sister in the back a la Milliband) will be similar to your predictions of the Celtic v Rangers game last week.

    This would seem to disagree with you. I wonder, what is the more reliable source ? The Nuffield Trust or a guy who can't join up two cohesive opinions ?

    Scotland has a much higher % in patient admission rate than England, probably due to poorer living conditions historically. The SNP didn't cause that ij the last five years by the way.

    Worst health service in the UK ? Wales, devolved to the party that you want to win Scotland but lose the UK. Idiot.
