I have no idea what units blood cholesterol is measured in I just
know that 5.5 is pretty bad and 2.5 is pretty good.

5.5 ain't so bad. 8.6 is bad. (Don't ask me how I know...)

The year before last, 6.0 was OK

it isn't now

So a change of goalposts gives me a high cholesterol level now

This is usually the case with NHS staff, who are noted for job
creation.

I'm pretty certain that NHS GP practices are given large cash
allowances determined by their supposed 'at risk' patients, so they
tend to exaggerate such to maximise their profits.
