Verbatim
“The principal source of the public's high level of dissatisfaction with the NHS is much the same today as it was when New Labour was in power – they feel it takes too long to access the care they need. However, whereas under New Labour this concern was focused on the time it took to get a hospital appointment, now it extends to all parts of the NHS including GPs.”
