How the public views the NHS at 75 As the NHS marks its 75th anniversary, the founding principles of the health service – that care would be free at point of delivery, available to all and funded from tax – are largely the same. But how care is delivered and how the system is organised have changed significantly since 1948.
This anniversary presents a moment to reflect on how far the NHS has come and to look to the future. Recent years have seen the NHS face unparalleled challenges. The COVID-19 pandemic followed a decade of austerity, driving waiting lists to new heights and exacerbating longstanding workforce shortages. Amid record low public satisfaction and unprecedented industrial action, the health service is in crisis. So what does the public think about the NHS now and the challenges that lie ahead?
