Sky's people and politics correspondent Nick Martin spent time with Jasmine, who has spent the last 11 years battling endometriosis. Since turning 12, she has had appointments, consultations and surgery on the NHS, and is one of millions waiting months, sometimes years, for treatment.

Jasmine is in so much pain she can hardly get out of bed. She's clutching a hot water bottle and taking morphine, a strong painkiller which she says turns her into a 'zombie'. 'It's like there's like a ball of acid in the middle of my torso and it's burning its way through each of my organs. And it feels like that 24/7,' said the 23-year-old.

Twenty-five per cent who responded said the NHS is completely broken, with 61% saying it's in a poor state and parts of it are broken. Only 1% of people said the NHS is healthy and has very few problems. Thirty-two per cent of people said they most trusted Labour to reduce waiting times, with just 9% saying they trust the Conservatives most to do it. Most tellingly, just over a quarter of those who responded, 26%, said no party can be trusted to solve the problems with the NHS.
