So I'm just collating the results now.At the moment it looks as if, in the UK, despite the fact that newspapers continually report that people are unhappy with medical care,in fact it is mainly the third level of care, which takes place in hospitals, that they are worried about.Govemment reforms have been proposed at all levels and although their success is not guaranteed,long-term hospital care is in fact probably less of an issue than the media would have us believe.However I've still got quite a bit of data to look at.Certainly I will need to do more far-reaching research than I had anticipated in order to establish if people want extra medical staff invested in the community, or if they want care to revert to fewer, but larger, key medical units.The solution may well be something that can be easily implemented by those responsible in local govemment, with central government support of course.This first stage has proved very valuable though.I was surprised by how willing most of the subjects were to get involved in the project.I had expected some unwillingness to answer questions honestly.But I was taken aback and rather concernedthat something I thought I'd set up very well didn't necessarily seem that way to everyone in my own department.
