Public satisfaction with NHS at lowest ever level, survey shows

Public satisfaction with the NHS has dropped again, setting a new low recorded by the long-running British Social Attitudes survey.

Just 24% said they were satisfied with the NHS in 2023, with waiting times and staff shortages the biggest concerns.

That is five percentage points down on last year and a drop from the 2010 high of 70% satisfaction.

The poll - the gold-standard measure of the public's view of the health service - has been running since 1983.

A PERSON was airlifted to hospital after being "seriously injured" at a hotel in Llandudno yesterday (March 27).  Pioneer

Wales Air Ambulance and the Llandudno Coastguard attended the incident, at a hotel on the promenade, which required a cliff rescue stretcher to get the casualty to the helicopter.

The person was then airlifted to hospital for "urgent" treatment.

A Llandudno Coastguard spokesperson said: "We were called out yesterday (Wednesday) to assist our colleagues at Wales Air Ambulance with extracting a seriously injured casualty from a local hotel.

"We were able to use our cliff rescue stretcher to negotiate some tricky stairs and steps and then convey the casualty to the helicopter on the prom.

"We then kept the area clear whilst the helicopter took off and conveyed the casualty to hospital for some urgent treatment.

"If you are aware of anyone in any danger or distress anywhere around the coast, please call 999 and ask for the Coastguard."

That' an incredible achievement DVT, well done.     When I used to walk my dog I'd often meet Roy White and he would tell me about your exploits in the Rallying World and it was really interesting to hear all about them.         It was nice to see the photo and Ill mention it to Roy when I see him next


It's no wonder that your thoughts on the present 20 mph rule are unprintable           ;D
