Exclusive: Poll finds large majority in Britain think key principle of health service will be dropped in next decade
Seven in 10 people in the UK believe charges for NHS care will creep in over the next decade, ending the health service’s record of being free at the point of use, polling has found.
One of the NHS’s key founding principles from 1948 is in peril, 71% of the public believe, according to the survey carried out for the Health Foundation ahead of the service’s 75th birthday this week.
