Does the uptick in NHS patients' satisfaction (picking up slightly from historically low levels) indicate that Wes Streeting's 'reforms' are starting to have an effect, or is it just evidence that expectations have been so depressed, that the personal threshold for 'satisfaction' is now low enough for a few more patients to feel satisfied with the NHS (crisis-ridden) services?

My felling is the latter, while Streeting will believe the former.

@ChrisMayLA6 There's a third option: the people who would have been dissatisfied have died off whilst waiting for care.
