Original Note:
These figures are false: 1. 16.1 scanners per million implies 900 scanners for England (pop. 56m). 2. In 12 months to Feb 23 NHS England completed 10.3m CT & MRI scans: See Table 1 of https://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/Statistical-Release-22nd-June-2023-PDF-470KB.pdf 3. This implies a scan every 45 Min running 24/7, which is impossible.
