Public satisfaction with the NHS rose to 26% from a record low of 21% in 2024, marking the first increase since 2019, though dissatisfaction remains high at 51% and long wait times for GP, A&E, and hospital care continue to frustrate the public. Health Secretary Wes Streeting cited the improvement as evidence of recovery and announced an "NHS intensive recovery programme" targeting five underperforming trusts, though experts cautioned the gains represent only "fragile improvements."
