Public Perceptions of the NHS and Social Care Survey

Our regular study of public attitudes regarding the NHS and social care for the Department of Health

01.07.15

Since 2000, Ipsos has conducted a series of surveys about public perceptions of the NHS on behalf of the Department of Health. The data tables and reports available below detail the findings of the Winter 2014 wave of the survey.

The aim of the survey is to explore public attitudes towards, and perceptions of, the NHS and social care services. The core survey consists of tracker questions which assess how public opinion varies over time. Additional questions have been included as new topics emerge. For example, in this wave new questions were included on concern about the cost of social care people might need when they are older. This flexibility means the survey can reflect the most current issues facing the NHS and social care.

Please see the Department of Health website for the full report.
