READING is one of the best places in the country for residents’ access to healthcare services.
New research from From Mars took into account factors such as number of hospitals and how many of those feature in Newsweek’s UK top 50, number of sexual health clinics and average waiting times for general surgery at NHS Trust hospitals.
The Ding’s overall score was 6.33, placing it 11th out of 50 cities and towns, and just below joint ninth-placed Kingston-upon-Hull and Sunderland.
The research revealed that there are 1.89 hospitals per 100,000 people, with an average waiting time of 10 weeks for general surgery at NHS trust hospitals.
There are also 0.31 sexual health clinics per 100,000 people.
Leeds topped the table, with Edinburgh and Manchester in second and third place.
