From Hospital Standardised Mortality Ratios April 2024 to March 2025 published today, the above graph reveals that all of Scotland’s hospitals have mortality ratios within the normal range confirming the complete absence of any postcode lottery here.
Of particular interest, the large Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, extreme right, often unjustly criticised in media and serving one of the most disadvantaged populations in Scotland, has a below average mortality ration of 3.7, below the Scottish average.
In England, we see more evidence of a two-tier system here with a cluster of hospitals in affluent areas revealing as many as 700 fewer deaths than predicted and others in the north, with the same number, in excess of even predictions made in the full knowledge of the local poverty-levels. In England, it makes a huge difference to your chances if you attend in Chelsea as opposed to Lancashire.
