The Guardian has released a podcast featuring an archived long read from 2023 about voter dissatisfaction with the NHS.

Archived content returns to public view
The publication is drawing from its long read archives to share classic pieces from previous years. This specific item comes from 2023 and features new introductions written by the original authors. The podcast version includes a reading by Greg Miller Burns alongside the text by Gavin Francis.
Author discusses funding and political commitment
Gavin Francis argues that even leaders admit the current system cannot meet today's demands without serious political support. He states that the service is far from unsalvageable if politicians commit to proper funding levels. The book associated with this work is scheduled for release on 31 August by Profile Books and Wellcome Collection.
