Just 10% of Britons think ministers have the right policies on the NHS, though public support for the service’s founding principles remains strong, according to new polling.

The proportion of voters across the UK who believe that ministers are tackling the NHS’s many problems in the right way is lowest in England, at 8% – a record low.
