The Department of Health (DH) has published two separate
surveys, one on the public perceptions of the NHS and social care, and the
other on NHS Staff attitudes. Fieldwork for both surveys took place towards the
end of 2011.
Public Perceptions of the NHS and Social Care is a regular
survey that provides a useful check on public sentiment and experience relating
to the NHS and social care. The study has been running at regular intervals
since spring 2000. It is commissioned by DH and conducted by Ipsos Mori. The
results of the study form an overall picture, as perceived by the public, of the
NHS and social care. Core questions are asked in each wave of the survey, but
there is flexibility that allows us to ensure that the survey reflects the most
current issues facing the NHS.
This survey complements other major surveys commissioned by
DH but is unique in the fact that it focuses on the general public, rather than
patients only, and therefore provides an independent view on how key NHS and
social care issues are regarded by the public.
