Two in three voters have described NHS services as “bad”, according to a new poll revealing that Britons appear to be losing faith in the health service.

Some 67 per cent of people say NHS services were bad and only 22 per cent say they are good, according to the YouGov survey – which also found 78 per cent think the health service if currently operating “badly”.

Amid record waiting lists for care and delays to ambulance services, the poll for The Times also found that 85 per cent of voters believe Rishi Sunak’s government was handling the NHS “badly”.
