My own view (and I talk to a lot of people in detail about healthcare experiences in my job - though admittedly not a representative sample) is that there is massive regional variation, and huge differences in access for different groups even within the same region.
I dont doubt the survey, taken 3 months after labour taking power, I think next years will be more of a true reflection of how they are progressing
Yep - we'll see how many have noticed improved treatment vs how many (often from more disadvantaged groups) have been "managed" off waiting lists without treatment.
