There's a part of me that's annoyed they made it kind of look like a bar chart but didn't actually make it a bar chart. (The GP Appt at £36 being longer than the Nurse at £70 looks wrong)

@MyYeeHaa @abeorch I think the individual bars are probably correctly sized for that but it looks like someone changed the labels rather than reordering the bars...

A&E = prescription
District Nurse = GP Appt
GP Home Visit = District Nurse
Average Prescription/GP Appointment = GP Home/A&E Visit

You can tell it's older, though, because they're trying to reterm A&E to Emergency Department, to stop unnecessary attendances...

I think they are juat ordered by cost top to bottom .. bar chart visual is coincidental . Another case of Apophenia -
tendency to perceive meaningful patterns within random data
