Support from source[edit]

i wrote "In November 2022 a survey by Ipsos and the Health Foundation found just 8% of the public were satisfied with NHS England. Public support for UK government's handling of NHS in England drops to new low Sky News De Facto reverted it https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=National_Health_Service_%28England%29&diff=1141131367&oldid=1141127031 naintaining it was "Not supported by the source"

The source states "Only 8% of those surveyed thought the government had appropriate plans for the NHS; the previous low was 22% in 2006. The survey, from Ipsos and the Health Foundation, revealed those in Scotland and Wales had more confidence in their devolved governments' policies, at 28% and 19% respectively."

I don't see a problem with the source. Proxima Centauri (talk) 14:40, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Proxima Centauri, did you read my edit summary?

Read and compare:

Source says: 8% of those surveyed thought the government had appropriate plans for the NHS
Proxima Centauri wrote: 8% of the public were satisfied with NHS England

Have you spotted the differences now? -- DeFacto (talk). 15:17, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A NATIONAL Health Service?

Considering that the health service was set up for the whole UK - and given that the text covered here repeats much of that in the main NHS article - are there any good reasons to have a separate National Health Service (England) article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.151.2.23 (talk) 08:53, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
