New Health Foundation polling finds that there are some signs that public perceptions of NHS care are improving.

Daniel Elkeles, chief executive, NHS Providers, said:
 
"It’s good to see that more people think that the general standard of care got better in the last 12 months, the highest recorded number since 2020.
 
"Stretched NHS services are working hard to turn the tide on falling public satisfaction and trusts are working flat out to give patients the best care possible."
