" The NHS has received high marks from patients, with 90 per cent saying that they received &amp;quot;good&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;excellent&amp;quot; treatment, according to a new poll. A survey by the Healthcare Commission (HC) revealed that two per cent of respondents said they received &amp;quot;poor&amp;quot; care. However, nearly one quarter indicated that they were not always treated with dignity and respect by health care staff. HC chief executive Anna Walker commented: &amp;quot;We all hear a lot of negative comment about the NHS, but we must never forget that most patients have consistently rated the overall quality of their care as good or excellent. &amp;quot;Staff should remember this as it shows that patients value the good work they do. The results also suggest that we need a fresh drive to tackle a set of issues related to treating patients with dignity.&amp;quot; Additionally, the figures showed that ten per cent of patients had been housed in mixed sex wards, despite NHS policy against the practice. The HC is the independent body which inspects both the NHS and independent healthcare. \u00A9 Adfero Ltd "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
