Get some hand sanitiser on them..?
No, but like you I saw something strange today....

I was waiting in the reception for my physiotherapy appointment this morning when a elderly (ancient) gent came in to wait for his appointment.

The bloke behind the desk gave the gent a medical mask as the gent was wearing a fabric one & asked him to put it on..... Elderly gent proceeded to put the mask on over his glasses instead of over hus mouth and nose!

Am I misreading that? To me one GP per 1745 people is better that 1 per 2038 people. Or are they completely mixing things up and quoting the number of GPs in East Staffordshire and comparing it with the proportion of GPs in the rest of the county.

And is there confusion between "East Staffordshire" in that report and Stafford in this one ?

Or is it two different things ?

EDITED.
I've now realised that East Staffordshire is the fifth best and Stafford the seventh worst.

The analysis looks a bit inconsistent. Stafford and East Staffordshire are borough councils, but North Yorkshire is a county council that includes borough councils such as Scarborough and Harrogate. Northumberland is a county council, but doesn't have any borough councils below it.

East Staffordshire includes Burton and Uttoxeter.

You need to ask the Lib Dems, who put the figures together!
