Doctors continue to come out top in MORI's annual poll of the most trusted professionals or occupational groups. Nine in ten continue to say that they trust doctors to tell the truth. Public approval for the way doctors do their jobs remains high at around 9 in 10.

Consumers of financial services in Northern Ireland have a number of key concerns, as highlighted in a recent survey conducted by MORI Ireland.

Trust in the Government is low, with a quarter to a third of us believing that the Government is acting in the public interest in relation to each of five different risk issues.

Corporate responsibility continues to be an important influence on the opinions and behaviour of stakeholders including consumers towards companies, according to new research by MORI. The results are from MORI's annual Corporate Social Responsibility survey, which is sponsored by a number of organisations.

Confusion with the pension market and lack of trust in pension providers prevails according to a new survey by MORI Financial Services.

A new public opinion poll from MORI shows that over 60% of British adults expect the impossible from science: 71% of the public look to scientists to give an 'agreed view' about science issues and 61% expect science to provide 100% guarantees about the safety of medicines. Yet most scientists insist that science cannot and should not deliver either.

New MORI research identifies the science-related issues currently causing greatest concern to the public and reveals that scientists, government and the media need to do better over the funding and reporting of science.

The public's trust in doctors has risen over the past year, according to a MORI opinion poll published today. Ninety one per cent of people thought that doctors tell the truth, making doctors the most trusted of the professions and occupations listed. Just six per cent of people thought that doctors do not tell the truth.
