Basic care denied to elderly patients
Yet another story about the NHS failing to provide basic care to patients. The NHS, like the curates egg, is only 'good in parts' and given that it costs so much and given that we are meant to be a modern society that is an appalling state of affairs. What good is free healthcare if it means you are condemned to suffer malnutrition, lie in your own filth or need a doctor to prescribe water to you so that you're sure of getting a bloody drink?
There is a lot of knee-jerk 'hands off' opposition to the NHS reforms but how can anyone honestly defend a system that allows such laziness, complacency and neglect?
