The Healthcare & Wellbeing sector significantly outperforms the UK average when it comes to payment practices, suggesting a generally healthy financial flow within the industry. However, the wide range between the best and worst payers indicates considerable inconsistency, with some prominent companies failing to meet expected payment standards.
The data suggests a geographic disparity, with Scotland leading at 100, though based on a single data point, and London's average of 70.8 indicates a potentially more challenging payment environment for businesses operating in the capital, compared to Wales (78.7) and the South West (77.5).

While the Healthcare & Wellbeing sector boasts an average payment score of 65.3, significantly surpassing the national average of 50, the bottom five payers – including well-known names like Boots and PZ Cussons – fall far short, highlighting a stark contrast in payment ethics within the industry.
