Call You and Yours: How satisfied are you with the modern NHS? Would you pay a bit more tax to improve it?
How satisfied are you with the modern NHS? Would you pay a bit more in tax to improve it. The BMA says we're falling behind the rest of Europe in the amount we spend on health.
How satisfied are you with the modern NHS? Would you pay a bit more in tax to improve it?
The British Medical Association (BMA) says we're falling behind the rest of Europe in the amount we spend on health. A poll suggests that for the first time more people are unhappy than satisfied with the health service.
The BMA says patient satisfaction has dipped dramatically since two similar polls in 2015 and 2016. The latest survey says 43% of people are unhappy with the NHS compared to 33% who are happy - a doubling of dissatisfaction in two years. Doctors say chronic under-investment and a growing, ageing population are some of the key reasons why people are worried about the future of the health service.
