Description

It’s been quite a year for the NHS - it just turned 70, had a winter crisis like never before, got over junior doctor strikes, but then was hit by a series of scandals about breast screening, and now opiate prescriptions.

At the same time, we’ve seen demonstrations in favour of the service and even widespread public backing for more money. So how do all of these things mix into the way in which the British public view the NHS?

In this podcast, Ben Page - chief exec of Ipsos MORI, the polling company, joins us to discuss the fluctuations in public opinion.
