What Stands Out

The Physical Health sector, based on this limited sample, significantly outperforms the UK average in payment practices. However, the spread between the best and worst payers – nearly 45 points – reveals inconsistent behaviour and suggests some suppliers are likely struggling with cash flow. It also must be noted that a company in London is the 5th worst performing which indicates that the sector can perform better

Regional Patterns

Regional data, while limited by sample size, points to significant disparities. The North East, represented by a single company, lags considerably behind London and the North West, indicating potential local economic pressures or company-specific payment issues. With only one company in North West, and two in East of England, it is hard to consider the averages as accurate.
