Just 36% of people content with the health service, survey finds
Public satisfaction with the NHS has sunk to its lowest level since 1997, with just 36% of voters content with the way the health service is run and performing.
More people in England, Scotland and Wales are now dissatisfied (41%) with the NHS than are satisfied for the first time since 2002, according to research from the National Centre for Social Research (NatCen). Discontent then led to Tony Blair’s Labour government raising taxes to improve the service and introducing targets to ensure speedy care.
