Public support falls for proposals that impact individual treatment decisions and care, such as encouraging patients to manage their conditions at home (39% support and 36% oppose). ![]() The public are also willing to make changes to their behaviour (for example more than nine in ten would return unused medications). There is broad public support for a range of measures to reduce the NHS’s carbon footprint. Fewer than half (44%) think the NHS has a responsibility to reduce its impact on climate change and barely one in five (19%) think reducing its impact should be among the NHS’s top priorities. The NHS’s role as a major contributor of carbon emissions is not well recognised, with only a quarter of people surveyed believing that the NHS is contributing to climate change.Īlthough awareness of the NHS’s net zero ambitions is low (13% of the public and 27% of NHS staff surveyed are aware) there is generally strong support for the policy, with 70% saying they support it and only 6% oppose it.ĭespite this support for the NHS net zero ambition, the public do not identify this as a priority. More than four in five (82%) are concerned about climate change. A quarter (25%) see climate change as one of the biggest threats to their health and it is seen as equally significant as accidents/injuries and mental health problems. With the NHS aiming to become the world’s first ‘net-zero’ emissions health care system, understanding public views will support the development and implementation of policies to successfully transition to net-zero. The Health Foundation commissioned Ipsos MORI to carry out a survey with the general public in the UK to gather their views on climate change, health and sustainable health care.
