Three out of four people in the UK fears that he will stumble in a vehicle in the hospital corridor or an ambulance that does not reach after contact 999, prompting allegations that NHS is facing a “crisis of public confidence”.
The huge numbers also led to the lack of local A & e family (77 %) and the inability to get care in their GP surgery (70 %), as the research was found.
The general concern about the very severe health service condition that one out of every three people (34 %) hesitate to seek help with A& E because they believe it will be flooded.
The larger numbers – 43 % – are very anxious from slow response times 999 so that they are likely to take a taxi to the hospital instead of waiting for an ambulance.
Dr. Adrian Boyle, head of the Royal College of Emergency Medicine, said that the results, in a survey conducted by the polling company, are “disturbing and frightening on an equal footing.”
“as [the NHS] A research like this is scheduled to show that people lose their confidence and faith in the system to be able to take care of them when they need it more. the people [are] Acknowledging that they will not ask for emergency assistance because they are very afraid to violate a vehicle in a crowded A& E.
“These results reveal a shocking level of general fear of reaching urgent and emergency care,” said Rachel Power, CEO of the Patient Society.
“Patients with a healthy emergency should never have to think twice to call an ambulance or go to A& E, yet many now feel that they have no choice but to delay the request for help or try alternative travel options.
“This is not just a crisis of NHS capacity; it is a general confidence crisis. IPSOS has an interview with a representative of 1,087 adults online between 3 and 5 February.
NHS is struggling for years to achieve its waiting time for the A & E Care, the hospital’s routine therapy and ambulances to respond to 999 calls. In addition, people who need mental health support often face long waiting while large numbers cannot obtain NHS dental care.
A & ES has become so popular that patients have died there but have not been discovered, with “routinely harmful”, because the deceased employees cannot keep pace with the high demand for care, the Royal Nursing College was revealed last month.
The results come after weeks Hear an inquiry Dorothy Reed, 91, died after refusing to help A& E after forcing her to spend the night on a chair there on a previous visit, despite her breaking.
She was left “in a state of discomfort for hours” on her visit last March to Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Queen Mother’s Hospital in Margate, I was. When she fell shortly after, she refused to return, although she recommended it. Red died of blood clot.

“There is increasing concern among doctors about people who feel sick at home, but they did not come to the hospital because they are concerned about the long waiting to be seen, or perhaps caring for the corridors, and as a result, it is harmful to the harm-or Even not attending-with urgent problems.
Professor Nicolas Ranger, Secretary -General of the Royal College of Nursing, said that “general anger is clear” about NHS’s ability to provide high -quality high -quality care. Fraud of delay means that “the nurses carry their weight with verbal and even physical assault.
“People are concerned about the NHS condition. The audiences are concerned about the presence of A& E when they need more care, and they are really afraid of the level of care they may receive.”
She added that the upcoming government plan, “must be restored to the public’s confidence.”
Epsos research also found that 81 % said that NHS made them sad while 71 % said it made them angry. Less than half (47 %) believes that NHS provides taxpayers a good value for money, but 58 % believe that it provides a high level of care.
When asked about their opinion more when they think about NHS, “long waiting times” was martyred with the largest number of people – 57 %. Other responses included “employees” (51 %), “delay” (27 %) and “high care quality” (22 %).
NHS England did not respond directly to the results. “I have been under great pressure, especially over the past few months, as employees have suffered from one of the most difficult winter periods,” said a spokesman.
They added that people who need care should always search for, from GP or NHS 111 phone service or by calling 999 or attend A& E if a life -threatening emergency.
The Ministry of Health and Social Welfare said: “People are angry. Patients are let down and taxpayers money is wasted. NHS is broken but not beaten,” said the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare.
