In 2023, according to those aged over 65 in the United Kingdom, staff shortages and poor NHS management were the main causes of health service strain. Around a third of respondents also pointed to a lack of capacity and increased demands from an aging population. In comparison, the same survey carried out on young people found they believed the main cause of strain on services was a lack of funding, and put a larger emphasis on the impact of Brexit and government policy.
