Who Do You Believe? Trust In Government Information

Physical Capital: Liveability in 2005

In 2002, MORI Social Research Institute published our first report on Liveability, called "The Rising Prominence of Liveability - Are we condemned to a life of grime". Three years on, we revisit a subject area that has grown in importance to policy makers in key government departments. Our analysis is telling, and indeed, encouraging. Local government has woken up to its problems on the central Liveability issues and people are starting to notice changes on the ground.

If an authority is perceived to provide generally good quality services and good value for money, then it is highly likely to also achieve strong satisfaction ratings. Indeed, perceptions on these attributes are consistently shown to be the strongest drivers of overall satisfaction across different studies and across key sub-groups within the population.

This report highlights some key areas where further collection of data would be helpful in providing evidence to explore various hypotheses around the drivers of satisfaction

Life satisfaction and trust in other people

This report looks at two very current issues in social policy life satisfaction and trust in others. These issues link into a number of debates, particularly how we measure the progress and impact of policy in a more rounded way and how we can reverse the apparent decline in feelings of community cohesion and citizenship.

Frontiers of Performance in the NHS

In this report we show that there are some very clear key drivers of patient perceptions that individual managers and clinicians can affect. There are others, however, that neither they nor the Department of Health can influence very much at all.
