In our last episode of the year, Sierra sits down with Leonora Merry, Director of Communications and External Affairs at Nuffield Trust, Dan Wellings, Senior Fellow at The Kings Fund, and Natalie Maplethorpe, Research Director at NatCen, to discuss the British Social Attitudes module that looks at public attitudes towards health and social care in the UK. Their discussion centres on satisfaction with the NHS, how public attitudes have varied since the time series began in 1983, and how this BSA data contributes to wider health and care policy across the UK. They also discuss the important collaboration between the three organisations on this module.
British Social Attitudes is run by the National Centre for Social Research (NatCen) and is made possible by the funding we receive from a variety of charitable and governmental sources each year.
