More than half of the public is unhappy with the NHS, polling shows, with a doubling in dissatisfaction in just two years, and warnings of a “tipping point” from which it is hard to recover. The Telegraph has the story.
The British Social Attitudes survey, which has tracked public opinion since 1983, found satisfaction with the health service has reached an all-time low, fuelled by concerns about long waits in A&E and access to GPs.
For the first time, the majority of the public are dissatisfied with the NHS, the poll found – with the lowest ratings for every aspect of healthcare examined.
Overall, 51% of those polled said they were dissatisfied with the NHS – more than twice the 25% recorded in 2020.
Researchers said the survey, involving 3,362 people from England, Wales and Scotland paints a “troubling” and “depressing” picture of the NHS.
Data from the poll, analysed by the Nuffield Trust and The King’s Fund think tanks show difficulties accessing appointments were the greatest concern.
Just 29% said they were satisfied with the NHS – the lowest level since the survey began, down from an all time high of 70% in 2010.
Some 69% of those polled said it takes too long to get a GP or hospital appointment, while 55% said that there are not enough NHS staff and 50% said the Government does not spend enough money on the NHS.
Regardless of party political affiliation, those polled were less satisfied with the NHS under the current Government, than with any other administration since the survey in 1983.
Dan Wellings, senior fellow at the Kings Fund, urged ministers to “sit up and take notice” adding: “This should ring loud, continuous alarm bells in the corridors of power. This is as bad as I’ve ever seen in an NHS survey.”
“There are 1.4 million staff telling everyone that will listen that it is difficult right now. Everyone is hearing the experiences of friends and family… when you have reached that tipping point it is very hard to recover.”
Worth reading in full.
The high level of demand on the health service that is at the root of the ongoing crisis is most likely a consequence of the fallout from lockdown, harms from the experimental vaccines and possibly post-Covid effects. Insofar as it is the first two, it is a direct result of the unprecedented responses to the relatively mild (mortality rate well below 0.5%) COVID-19 virus. Yet still our governments plan to do it all again in response to future viral threats – and the public backs it. Madness.

Who the hell are the satisfied 29%??
People whose in-laws recently sadlydied in NHS care?
The SuddenlyDied™ and the SadlyDied™…
And the 100%SafeAndEffectives™ …
The lazy, overpaid gits who work in it.
The satisfied are the Doctors.
I work in the NHS and, for the few (mainly Doctors), it’s a licence to print money.
They’ll pay lip service to the state of the NHS but behind closed doors they’re rubbing their hands in glee.
There’s only one reason for the present crisis and that’s the GP’s are in a sulk because they’re now expected to see and treat patients after their extended paid leave during Covid and it’s not going down well. In retaliation for being expected to work they’ve taken to diverting the patients to A&E, preferably in an expensive Ambulance. No one questions them and so the A&E car park is rammed with Ambulances, filled with trivial ailments that the GP’s refuse to deal with.
Their Doctor colleagues in A&E gladly accept them and keep their mouths shut so that they can all keep their snouts in the trough.
You’d think they’d have some shame after slaughtering tens of thousands during Covid but they know they’re teflon with the general public so can basically do whatever they please.
Whilst I was abroad a little while back, my wife had an accident. She snapped the ball off one her femurs bones. My neighbour Whatapped me to tell me my wife had had an accident, I could hear her whining like a beaten dog in the background.
Luckily I have for some great neighbours who stayed all of the 12 hours it took for the ambulance to arrive. The hospital was only 4 miles away from my house.
Although it was unsettling to hear my wife crying like that the thing that really scared me was if she moved and dislodged a bone fragment which could possible pierce her femoral artery and she would bleed in.
Speaking of unhappiness, here is an issue the NHS have been rubbish at tackling these last couple of years; loneliness.
Useless NHS!

And the solution is: Coronascrabble! Everytime you get a boring old cold, keeping testing until you finally hit the jackpot. Once you’ve managed to get a positive test, you may swap the old and boring L in C-O-L-D for a fresh and exciting V-I to make C-O-V-I-D and then, you belong again!
Masks not included.
You may have hit on something! “L” in Roman numerals is 50. “VI” is 6. The ratio is roughly 8.3. As a bit of a mystic meg, I wonder if between 8 and 9 “cases” of covid are actually colds?
Not quite. Roman numbers always proceed from large to small. If a small number is placed in front of a larger one, it’s meant to be subtracted from it. Hence LD = 500 – 50 = 450 and VID is probably a swapped DIV which is 504.
Assuming the 450 was placed in a cyclic, decimal shift register and rotated one place to the left, the outcome would be 504. Which gets me back to my original point: COVID is that The Science[tm] makes out of COLD with Fancy Computer Tech[tm]. Among afficionados, COVID is thus also informally known as Smart Cold, a disease globally deployed in numerous variants since 2020 and originally supposed to enable ModeRNA to finally come to market with some product based on their innovative As Dangerous As Useless[tm] (patent pending) mRNA technology. The codename for this was Operation Daft Sweep.
Conspiracy Theory Thursday: Why the mad drive to inject more and more people with covaxxes despite they’re not the least bit at a risk from COVID?
Answer: If everybody – or almost everybody – is vaccinated, especially a lot of younger people who are generally more robust wrt infections than members of the so-called vulnerable groups, then, nobody will notice that we have a real killer product here, at least for some time.
How many of the people who got the first round injections in Dec 2020/ Jan 2021 because they were deemed especially vulnerable are still alive?
Interestingly in the early 2000s research into coronaviruses used a PCR test to identify ~396 base pairs. The same tests are being used to identify ‘covid’…. How many of of those positive tests have found something which is similar?
A basic this is the science behind the process, so how the hell can what is claimed to be found be true?
Well, this is a real ‘No Shit Sherlock’ story isn’t it?
One assumes it’s quite challenging for most of the staff to remain motivated and cheerful as they come to terms with their blind cooperation in this grotesquely horrific medical holo-caust.
Does anybody know if there’s an increase in ambulance call outs in the UK ( or wherever you are ) still? Here’s Dr Bridle observing the significant increase in such calls in a part of Canada, way higher than when there was a deadly virus on the loose and no ”highly effective” pseudo-vaccines to protect folk;
”Notably, this increase correlates with increases in all-cause mortality around the world. Would it be worth considering the ‘elephant in the room’; i.e., the possibility that the COVID-19 shots might have a role to play here? Any experts who definitively say ‘“no” better have some solid data to prove it.
It would be great if we could get paramedic service data from all across Canada and other countries. Specifically, it would be helpful to know what call volumes looked like in 2020 (no shots but a ‘deadly virus that overwhelmed the medical system’), 2021 and 2022 (‘COVID-19 ‘vaccine’ rollout), and pre-pandemic (baseline).”

I popped into my local hospital to find that you must wear a mask again. It’s mandatory! This is insane as not only do they do nothing in relation to any airborne virus but they are single use plastic. How much money has been spent on masks and who has the contract to supply them? In addition there was a poster saying something about ZeroCovid!!!! For **** sake, has nothing been learned in 3 years? Why is anyone pushing the insane idea that you can completely eliminate Covid and now? I now have a visceral dislike of any intent that involves the word ‘zero’. There is nothing good in it.
Mandatory only in some administrator’s warped view of the world with no knowledge of the lawful position on consent to a medical intervention – masking is a medical intervention – the simplest thing to do is to say that you’re exempt.
Also, the taxpayer will pay for these and probably for the management of procuring them as well as disposal. we paid for the ‘vaccines’ and we will pay for damages caused by the ‘vaccines’.
Well if doctors and nurses are still seeing fit to bump off old folk with their midazolam/morphine death cocktail then they won’t think anything of continuing to fly in the face of an Everest-sized mountain of contradictory evidence and keep dehumanizing patients in the face-nappy dept too. Because that’s basically how they see most patients, as subhuman, or so it would seem anyway. Here’s a documentary, for anyone who hasn’t yet seen it, on the whole morphine/midazolam thing. As much as I despise Handcockup, the buck stops with the doctors who prescribe this death sentence and the nurses who administer it.

Agreed, Net Zero the same. Did this start with Pol Pot and his Year Zero, which also sounds similar to a ‘Great Reset’?
Just refuse. Firstly as BB says these are a medical intervention and secondly ask to see written confirmation that they are mandatory and under whose authority because it is not government.
Of course the structural issues within the NHS were already there but the following piece of excellent journalism shows who was responsible for driving all the terrible decisions that have pushed many of our institutions into untenable positions. Perhaps there was intent in all this?

I hope the connection is clear?
let’s hope the public soon wake up to the real reason for the inadequacy of the NHS like all the public sector, is nothing to do with a lack of money.
More people, more money is the cry of those unable to think critically. The NHS already consumes 1 in every £10 of the tax take and employs 1 in 25 working age adults. How much more can we give it..?
“You will never understand bureaucracies until you understand that for bureaucrats procedure is everything and outcomes are nothing.” – Thomas Sowell
The NHS will never get fixed. Politically, Labour make out that it is a national treasure and the envy of the world and that “The Evil Tories” want to destroy; however, when they get in power they are clueless and fearful of reform (and upsetting the Public Sector unions). The Conservatives are so frightened of the media outcry if they even attempt reform that they just pump more money into it and continue the status quo.
It’ll take war or the government facing bankrupcy before real reform takes place.
What a wonderful job lockdown did protecting the NHS.

Wonder how many would be outside every week banging their pots and pans nowadays…
Doesn’t pot-banging bring on ‘Sudden Death Syndrome’ or Sadly Died Syndrome first identified by The Science ™ in 1977 as a silent killer? (along with happiness)
Senator Babet is one to watch down under. He’s the same on other issues such as trans ideology and climate twaddle. Good man! But 97.5% Aussies over 16yrs have been jabbed though??

You have to wonder how much money would be enough for the 50% who think it doesn’t get enough.
The administrative bureaucracy of the management layer is now so dense no increase in funding money could ever reach the front line
Let’s hope people don’t think the problem is under funding.

They do! There seem to be an awful lot of people who won’t be happy until 100% of our tax take is funding ‘our’ NHS.
Remember the psyop. Clap for the NHS. I thought it was daft then. It looks insane now! I honestly believe (and hope) that the NHS is finished. We need a new system that promotes healthy living and that is not beholden to big pharma.
I thought we were clapping the TikTok videos
Echoing Miss Dolly’s comment, whenever I mention the NHS and how difficult it is to see a GP (I havent seen one face to face for 4 years!!!!), my friends living in the countryside would say how wonderful their local NHS is! From GP appointments to hospitalisation, they are thrilled and satisfied. So, my question is, is it the London based NHS service that is failing us? But not the countryside? If so, why are the city hospitals and GP’s so incompetent?
“Majority of Public Unhappy with NHS for First Time…”
Just woke up have they?
Just shows what a nations of nitwits Britain is. They deserve all they get – or in the case of the NHS, don’t get.
Amazingly high level of support considering they have spent the last 2 years peddling a lethal injection for us. Wait till the majority understand the full implications of this crime….
Meanwhile staff TikTok routines are going from strength to strength
Very very depressing. Yesterday I “enjoyed” the company of friends from my old workplace . Without going into too much detail I had lunch with one lot and dinner with a different set. To a man and woman they were fully engaged with government policy over covid. All had been fully “vaccinated” and boosted and proud of it. The final coup de grace came when one proudly announced he has just bought an electric car!
Naturally, because of my views I was passed off as a conspiracy theorist and told I had “gone down too many ‘worm’ holes”!
Thank God for you lot!
