Rebuilding the NHS
The NHS is the institution that matters most to the 99%. When it works, it is the great equaliser — world-class care regardless of income. These indicators track whether the system is recovering or continuing to deteriorate, and whether the promises to rebuild it are translating into results people can feel.
Patient Satisfaction
Public satisfaction with the NHS captures the lived experience of using the service — from GP access to A&E waits. It is the most direct measure of whether people feel the NHS is working for them.
Health of Population
Life expectancy, healthy life expectancy, and mortality rates show the ultimate outcomes of the health system. The UK's stalling life expectancy is a crisis in plain sight.
Waiting Lists
The NHS waiting list is the single most visible measure of system capacity. Millions waiting for treatment means pain, lost productivity, and eroding trust in public services.
