Tim Harford discusses how she and her ?Nightingale Circle? used spectacular diagrams to explain health statistics persuasively with RJ Andrews, editor of ?Florence Nightingale, Mortality and Health Diagrams?.

How much do nurses in the UK earn compared with those elsewhere in Europe? Tim Harford and the team investigate. Also we have an update on ambulance response times, which were the worst on record in December but are showing signs of improvement. Should we use the word data in the singular or plural?

And we hear how a spreadsheet error by the Office for National Statistics made the UK?s productivity appear to be one of the fastest improving in Europe.
