Public Inquiry recommendations are rarely fully implemented, as Govts change & headlines move on

That's why I've spent the summer building this online Tracker for @CovidJusticeUK - to monitor & assess implementation of Covid Inquiry recommendations

In 2021, I got an anonymous & cryptic letter in the post - listing payments to a consultancy firm by the NHS's largest trust

The LONG series of FOIs/appeals/reviews that followed have now led to the trust's procurement practices being overhauled

Apparently dissatisfaction is generally significantly higher among younger people…who tend to use services less.

Possibly says something about access and some of the antiquated/difficult routes into seeing a GP and other services

Reasons for NHS optimism from @leonoramerry

- Recent uptick in satisfaction (from v low point)

- Positive recent increases in scores in various patient services

-The NHS has been knocked down before, but it got up again (1990s spirit in more ways than one)

A feeling the NHS might not be accessible and there when you really need it is deeply damaging & undermining for satisfaction levels, says @leonoramerry
