Hi. I want to gather some feedback regarding peoples experiences with NHS care in the UK. And how people would feel about a possible subsidy(spelling?) service that the government could help pay for transport back to patients homes if(as is usually the case) an ambulance is unavailable.

Where do you live?

England

Wales

Scotland

Northern Ireland

Other(Please do not fill in this poll)

How do you feel about the current state of NHS services in your area?

How close do you live, approximately to your nearest NHS hospital?

less than 5 miles

5-10 miles

10-15 miles

15-20 miles

more than 20 miles

Have you ever had to go to an NHS hospital for emergency treatment, or know someone who has?

yes

if yes, did you or the person you know have to find your own means of transport to get home?(this could be any transport other than ambulance, e.g. bus, train, taxi)

yes

again if yes how much money did the transport cost to get you or the person you know home

don't know

less than £5

£5-10

£10-15

£15-20

more than £20

Would you be in favor of the government offering subsidies to local Taxi firms for getting people home at a reduced rate after receiving emergency treatment?

yes

What do you think would be a fair subsidy for local taxi firms if such a scheme was put in place? (e.g. 25% means that the patient would have to pay 75% of the price)

25%

50%

75%

100%
