Public perceptions of health and social care: what the new government should know

Public perceptions of health and social care: what the new government should know This report presents findings from the second survey in our programme of research into public perceptions of health and social care, delivered in partnership with Ipsos. 

Health and social care services are under extreme strain and improvements in life expectancy are stalling. As the new prime minister sets out her agenda for government, understanding what the public thinks should inform policy. And the public perceives the standard of NHS and social care services as having declined in the past 12 months – and is more likely to expect that standards will get worse over the next year rather than improve. But the public also has strong support for the NHS as an institution and points to clear priorities for improving services. The Health Foundation
