So I checked the NHS statistic, and according to the NHS November report they employ almost 1.4 million people. Initially I thought this was really high, but the number for France is a little over 1.3 million so I guess it is fair. I'm just surprised by how high it is (about 1 in 50 people work for the NHS).
