The lack of NHS beds is appalling and unbelievable that in a so-called civilised country someone the doctors have referred to hospital cannot be admitted due to a shortage of beds. I hope your mother gets admitted soon bobthedj and doesn't suffer because of the delay.

As for people who "can't be bothered to get themselves a GP" I've seen the other side of the coin where people have tried to get themselves a GP - one gentleman in particular who had moved to Accrington, into Avenue Parade of all places, and was in Peel House asking to be taken on as a patient and being advised there by the receptionist to go and see his previous GP (in his case this turned out to be in Wakefield) or to go to A&E at the hospital.

Shambles? The word is too good for it.
