National Patient Choice Survey, Wave 6
Since the beginning of 2006, patients have been entitled to a choice of four or more hospitals when referred by their GP. The Department of Health commissioned Ipsos to undertake a regular postal survey assessing the implementation of this policy. The results of the first six surveys indicate that most eligible patients are not receiving any choice of hospital provider, despite government exhortations — although the proportion being offered a choice has improved with each wave of research, from 30% in May/June 2006 to 48% in March 2007.

Potential 1.8 Million Increase In Adults Going To Pubs And Wine Bars More Often After The Smoking Ban
The advent of the smoking ban on 1st July is likely to bring an unexpected increase in custom to pubs and wine bars, according to new research conducted by Ipsos. Publicans should experience a significant increase in business, with 20% of regular or occasional drinkers in pubs / wine bars saying that they would visit pubs more regularly. This view was most strongly held amongst the nearly three quarters of pub goers who are non-smokers, amongst whom 26% said they would probably go to a pub more often. Among the total population, this translates to approximately 1.8m adults in England and Wales (taking into account the difference between those who would go more often and less often).
