§ Ms PrimaroloTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what is the consultant to patient ratio in each EC country.
§ Dr. MawhinneyData on the number of practising physicians per 1,000 of population for all countries in the EC are available from the Organisation for Economic 607W Co-operation and Development (OECD). This covers all qualified doctors. Data specifically about consultants are not available.
The table gives the available information:
Number United Kingdom 1.4 France 2.6 Germany 2.9 Belgium 3.3 Netherlands 2.4 Italy 11.3 Spain 3.6 Luxembourg 1.9 Portugal 2.7 Denmark 2.7 Greece 3.2 Ireland 1.5 11 Hospital doctors only. The OECD does not guarantee consistency of information between member states. The data are not directly comparable as training, career structure and nomenclature of medical staff and the organisational structure of health services vary greatly between the states.
Data on consultant-to-patient ratios in other EC countries are not available.
