LONDON: The UK's performance on key health metrics is a 'serious concern' and lags comparable countries, according to a report released to mark the 75th anniversary of the National Health Service (NHS).

The report by the King's Fund charity compared the health systems of 19 similar countries, and cited Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development data that showed the UK performed worst in fatality rates for strokes and second-worst for heart attacks.
