Oh ok Lettie, thanks for that, suppose though their profit is in the saving they have made by not providing this service free of charge.
I don't know what the answer is going to be at the end of the day .. not a politician or an economist ... can see what we all see; that people are living longer, not enough funding and the only answer to this it to take more money from Nat. Insurance from the people that are still working, and this causes uproar. More surgery and treatments are now available for diseases, bone fractures, etc., where we would have died years ago, and we all demand it. Like both Marge and you have said already, don't feel nurses are being trained any more in the basics. Sure someone will correct ,me on this one.
I am not as cynical about politicians as some people and sure they all go into the job wanting to put things right ... just no magic wand job though is it?
