Survey: Food, doctors top concerns

Food safety and difficulties in getting doctors received the most complaints in a recent survey about satisfaction with government.

"What residents urgently demand is that our governments solve their practical problems, such as ensuring that what they eat is safe and providing easy access to doctors, instead of supplying fancy but useless services," said Wang Jingbo, a law professor at China University of Political Science and Law.

She made the remark on Thursday, as the university issued a report on people's satisfaction with government work. The survey was conducted in 100 cities nationwide between Jan 15 and March 15. Results were based on a total of 76,969 questionnaires, of which 36,148 were from ordinary residents. The rest were from those who had come to governmental departments to deal with administrative affairs, and from experts, including judges, lawyers and law professors.
