The majority of people are not confident of receiving high-quality care this winter
(Picture: PA Wire)More than half of adults in Britain doubt people will be able to get high quality health care in their area this winter as the NHS struggles with strikes, waiting lists of more than seven million and pressures from Covid and flu, a poll revealed today.
The Ipsos survey for the Standard showed 54 per cent are not very or not at all confident that this level of care will be available, more than three times as high as when the question was asked in January 2015 when the figure was 16 per cent. Some 44 per cent are fairly confident or very confident of this high quality care but it was 72 per cent eight years ago.
