Annex 4
The following chart shows that based on current
projections, increases in medical supply should take the ratio
of doctors per population above the 2002 OECD average by 2030.
However, it is likely that numbers of doctors in OECD countries
will also increase over the period.
32. Caution should be exercised when comparing
across countries because differences between systems mean often
like is not being compared with like. Comparing ourselves to countries
that have traditionally oversupplied (eg Spain or Italy) might
lead us in turn to over supply.
