Location is a huge factor. I live in a rural part of the country where the main hospital serves mainly small towns and villages. The service is not perfect but, compared to the nearest big city, (20 miles away) it is night and day.

I live in London and have mostly been satisfied here too, but you're right it does certainly vary. More people should be aware they often have a right to choose, though, including sometimes private hospitals (though choosing a private hospital is usually only available when the private hospital costs the same or less as the NHS rate).
