Public satisfaction with NHS hits record low

Public satisfaction with the NHS has hit a new low, according to the long-running British Social Attitudes survey.
Just 21% said they were satisfied with the NHS in 2024, with waiting times and staff shortages the biggest concerns.
Satisfaction rates have dropped sharply since the pandemic – in 2019, 60% were satisfied – with NHS leaders warning the findings should act as wake-up call for the health service.
The poll – the gold-standard measure of the public’s view of the health service – has been running since 1983.
Nearly 3,000 people from England, Wales and Scotland were asked for their views last autumn.
