The given table illustrates the results of a survey related to medical care, per 1000 individuals, in three European nations from 1980 to 2000.

As for physicians, the number of physicians in Australia climbed modestly from 0.8 in 1980 to 1 in 2000. In contrast, beginning at 2.4, France witnessed a significant decline to 1.3 in the final year. Finally, Sweden continuously recorded the highest figures, going up from initially 3.6 to 3.8. Notably, this nation hit the lowest point (3) in the middle year.
Turning to the hospital beds, all countries substantially rose throughout the period. Sweden and Australia grew from 6.4 and 1.4 in 1980 to 6.9 and 3.7 in 2000. Furthermore, the most noticeable growth belonged to France with the bed numbers reaching 1.6 in 2000, despite showing 0.2 in 1980.

France dropped by nearly half from initially 9 to 5 in 2000, while Sweden declined more modestly from 23 to 21. Similarly, Australia fell from 18 to 6 in the first 10-year period before recovering back to 18 in 2000.
