The average payment performance in the UK mental health and psychology sector is significantly better than the national average. However, with only four companies analyzed, the data paints a potentially skewed picture; the high average masks a wide range of payment behaviors, as evidenced by a spread of over 60 points between the best and worst payer. With such a small data set the regional breakdowns, while directionally informative, may be less statistically significant.
London-based companies, with an average PaymentCheck Score of 85.8, outperformed the rest of the UK in this limited data set, while the single company in Wales pulled the average down, scoring just 33.9/100. It's important to consider sample size, as one exceptionally bad payer in Wales significantly impacts the regional average.
