A recent survey conducted in 2025 involving 3,400 individuals across England, Scotland, and Wales found a slight increase in satisfaction with the NHS, rising to 26% from a record low of 21% in 2024. However, satisfaction levels varied significantly by region, with only 18% of people in Wales expressing satisfaction. In terms of social care, only 14% reported being satisfied, and concerns about the future remain, as 53% expect standards to decline over the next five years. The findings reveal a generational divide, with older people generally more hopeful about the NHS’s future. While the Health Secretary highlighted improvements in NHS performance metrics, he acknowledged ongoing challenges ahead.
