London: British public trust in the government’s National Health Service (NHS) is witnessing a record decline ahead of the election in Britain. In this regard, a Social Attitudes Survey report conducted in 2023 found that only 24% of residents were satisfied with the performance of the NHS. This is a decrease of five percentage points from a year ago and is the lowest level recorded since the first such survey was conducted in 1983.
The results of the latest survey are being described as a challenge for the current government in Britain. That too before the proposed UK elections this year. This is also a cause of concern for the voters and it can have a profound impact on the outcome of the election. Public confidence in the public health service has been steadily declining over the past few years. Especially in 2020, the coronavirus epidemic played an important role in this. Confidence in and satisfaction with the National Health Service has fallen by 29 percent since 2020. A long patient waits and acute shortages of medical staff top the list of main reasons for public dissatisfaction. are made “These results reflect another turbulent and difficult year for the NHS and for the people who rely on its services,” the survey said.
