Judging by recent media coverage, you might be forgiven for thinking that the NHS has become a patient's nightmare, with doctors and nurses routinely mistreating or ignoring those in their care, leading to thousands of unnecessary deaths in hospitals across the country.
What does the evidence say? The Care Quality Commission's annual inpatient survey ? looking at the experiences of more than 64,500 people admitted to NHS hospitals in England in 2012 ? got precious little media coverage. But it paints a very different picture.
Most of its survey questions give patients the choice of answering "yes, always", "yes, sometimes or to some extent" or "not at all".
