Avon Health gets something like 400,000,000 - it is a larger than average HA, of which there are 98. Assuming some money is spent centrally, then 400,000,000 x 100 = 40,000,000,000, ie your first figure: > >Is that 4,000 million (4,000,000,000) or > >4 million million (4,000,000,000,000) ? > >Doctors are defrauding the NHS of 60m a year >(allegedly). I need to know whether this >represents 1.5% of the total budget or a mere >0.0015%. 60 million is therefore 60 / 40,000 = 0.15%. 60 million is never "mere". Where did the figure come from? If that was just GPs (30,000) that would be 2,000 UKP per GP! I would be surprised!!! -- Jon Rogers %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
