  • Need an interpreter or help with communication
  • Ethnicity
  • Pre-existing health condition
  • Health status
  • Gender
  • Age
  • Had an operation/procedure

In general, older people and males are significantly more positive whereas people who reported fair or poor health; were an emergency admission; require help with communication and those living in SIMD 2, SIMD 3 or SIMD 5 (least deprived) areas are significantly more negative. All characteristics related to this question are detailed in Table 18.
