Public quizzed about the real cost of the NHS

The web site quiz aims to raise awareness of how the NHS needs to do things differently, to become more efficient and free up millions of pounds to be re-invested at the front line. It questions people about the cost of services such as visiting the GP or hospital emergency department, encouraging ideas as the best ways to spend taxpayers’ money on local services.

We all remember Bruce Forsyth on TV urging contestants to go ‘higher’ or ‘lower’ on card numbers - Play Your NHS Right adapts that fun concept to get people thinking seriously about how much these NHS services cost to run.

Andrew Fairey, web communications manager at NHS Nottinghamshire County, says: “We are very happy with the final website - it is exactly what we were after. Volute understood our vision to interact, educate and engage public and patients in what is one of the most challenging periods the local NHS faces. Their expertise made it possible to make a unique website that for the first time details to service users how much NHS services cost, but more importantly how public and patients can use the NHS more efficiently.

“The system established by Volute (including web design and web development) allows us to administer and manage the content which will prove invaluable as we continue to develop the Big Healthy Debate by Playing Your NHS Right.”
