Tully Plesser will discuss the findings of an opinion survey asking voters across Europe what they want from their healthcare systems, what pressures they believe systems will face, what they expect to see happen, who they trust, and how politicians and civil servants should respond.

The survey, to which CNE has exclusive access, is the most extensive such opinion survey ever undertaken across Europe.

The presentation will be responded to by Stephen Pollard.
