For most medical specialties we tend to work at about 80% of the UK level, and it is interesting to see the same applies in this case. The UK tends to be at approximately one-fifth of the continental European level and one tenth of the North American level. When Dr. Creedon said our ratio was comparable to that in other centres my impulse was to say it would be a first for Ireland if that were so, because there is no other specialty where that is the case. I suspect we are very low by non-British standards, because Britain has a very unusual health system.
