开始段 - 改写题目+总结
The line graph compares five countries (the UK, Australia, Canada, Sweden, and Mexico) in 2010, 2014, and 2018 with regard to two measures: the number of hospital beds per 1,000 people, and the proportion of patients waiting either under 30 days or 30 days or more for elective surgery. Overall, with Australia being a notable exception, the other four countries' data demonstrate an inverse relationship between hospital bed availability and surgical waiting times.
第一段 - 病床数量变化
Looking first at hospital bed numbers, in 2010 Canada, Australia, and the UK had approximately 5, 4.5, and 4 beds per thousand people respectively, higher than the figures in the remaining two countries. However, over the next eight years these numbers fell steadily: Canada and Australia dropped to around 4 beds per thousand each, and the UK's figure declined to below 3. In contrast, Sweden's bed provision rose from just under 4 to 4.5, becoming the highest among the five by 2018, while Mexico's climbed from 2 to roughly the same level as the UK.
第二段 - 等待手术的比例变化
Turning to waiting times for elective surgery, Canada and the UK saw their performance worsen as bed numbers dwindled, with the share of patients treated within 30 days falling to 40% – the lowest among the five countries. In Sweden and Mexico, by contrast, increases in bed capacity were accompanied by shorter waits: the proportion of patients waiting over 30 days declined to under 20% in Sweden, and in Mexico it dropped from 55% (the worst initial figure) to 40%, a much more moderate level. Australia exhibited a unique pattern, as despite a reduction in beds, the percentage of patients undergoing surgery within 30 days actually rose from 70% to almost 80%, making it second only to Sweden in this regard.
