UK Physical Health Sector Pays Suppliers Significantly Faster Than National Average

The Numbers

• Companies analysed: 6
• Average PaymentCheck Score: 70.7/100
• UK average: 50.0/100
• Difference from UK average: +20.7 points
• London average: 76.0/100 (5 companies)
• North East average: 44.4/100 (1 company)

What Stands Out

The Physical Health sector in the UK demonstrably outperforms the national average in payment practices. However, with only six companies analyzed, the sample size is small, meaning the average could be easily skewed by top performers. Lloyds Pharmacy appearing in both the top and bottom five suggests inconsistencies, and a deeper dive into the data may be valuable.

Regional Patterns

London-based physical health companies have an average PaymentCheck score of 76.0/100, noticeably better than the single North East company's score of 44.4/100; this considerable disparity may imply regional differences in payment culture or operational efficiency, but the sample size is too limited for robust conclusions.

Overall, while the UK Physical Health sector seems to pay suppliers faster than the national average (70.7 vs 50.0), the data from only six companies reveals a large range of payment performance and regional inconsistencies.
