Public satisfaction with the NHS has plummeted to its lowest level, with only 24% of people satisfied in 2024, down from 70% in 2010, as reported by Kay Burley on Sky 501. This decline is attributed to the pressures of the global pandemic, which significantly strained the UK's healthcare system. The trend of dissatisfaction has been worsening over the past 40 years, with a notable drop following the pandemic. In response, the Labour Party, with spokespeople like JimfromOldham, has expressed its commitment to reviving the NHS, emphasizing the need to address foundational problems within the system. Discussions around potential tax increases to fund improvements have been mentioned, but Labour's focus remains on recovery strategies. The Conservative Party's handling of the economy and public services, including the NHS, has been criticized, with calls for immediate action to restore the healthcare system, rallying for a 'General Election Now!'
“There are some absolutely foundational problems with the NHS that need to be resolved.” Getting the NHS back on its feet is priority for the Labour Party, says @JimfromOldham. @StigAbell | #TimesRadio | @AasmahMir https://t.co/IHqKGcFYIp
NHS should be Britain's Economic Powerhouse! Stop treating it as a liability & start managing NHS as an opportunity. I have been saying this for along, maybe system will listen when it comes form @InstituteGC & Tony Blair 😉 https://t.co/QNINT9DUXs https://t.co/ypJ00PR16l

https://t.co/wchn3LViZ3 The Conservatives haven’t just crashed the British economy, they’ve broken our public services too. Labour has a plan to get the NHS back on its feet - we’ve saved the NHS from Tory neglect before, and we will do it again. General Election Now! @UKLabour

The NHS satisfaction trend lines going back 40 years. Worst it's ever been. (Via @TheKingsFund) Gradual pre-pandemic decline, and then it falls off a cliff as a system running too hit can't cope with covid. https://t.co/V792JRAiNM
In 2010 70% of people were satisfied with the NHS. In 2024 only 24% were satisfied. What clearer indictment of Tory failure could there be? 💔 @BBCr4today
