HEALTH SERVICE DATA 'VERY PATCHY' SURVEY FINDS

""


Nearly two in three people believe it is easy to find out how their local health service performs in spite of the information being 'very patchy', according to an opinion poll by think tank Policy Exchange.

The survey of 1,000 people also found 79% want a performance scorecard for local surgeries and trusts and 57% want to compare providers' performance to a national standard rather than against each other in a league table. Only 16% would use information to choose a provider and just 13% to change provider.
