Public satisfaction with the NHS appears to have stabilised following a record fall, according to the British Social Attitudes Survey.
The poll of more than 1,100 people in England, Wales and Scotland last year found satisfaction with the way the NHS was run stood at 61%.
This followed a record fall from 70%, in 2010, to 58% in 2011.
The drop coincided with the first year of the spending squeeze and controversy over reforms in England.
The 2012 survey, conducted by NatCen Social Research, found that 74% were satisfied with GPs while just 30% were satisfied with social care.
A total of 59% said they were satisfied with A&E units and 56% were satisfied with dentists, it found.
