UK Health Secretary Andrew Lansley has rubbished suggestions that the sine he took in-charge and introduced reforms in the NHS the public offering rating for the health service has fallen.

He said that the NHS reforms are not linked to the fall in the approval ratings about how the health service in run in England. Shadow health secretary Andy Burnham pointed out that the 2011 recorded the largest fall in the level of public satisfaction with the NHS, during departmental question session on 12 June 2012.

The British Social Attitudes Survey showed that the public satisfaction with the health service fell from 70 per cent to 58 per cent during 2011.

Mr Lansley responded by saying that 1,000 respondents of the survey were right about not being satisfied with the service. He indicated that the NHs is currently implementing reforms and the imrpovement is necessary for the NHS.

“I wasn't satisfied. We were in the midst of reform. We are changing the way the NHS is run.

We were one of those on this side of the House, who were demonstrating to the public that improvement is necessary and possible in the NHS. We should not be satisfied,” he said.
