Errr........it's not funded by pennies from heaven. We do all pay for it, through taxation and national insurance.
As Lettie said nurses and auxilaries can no longer provide the care they once did. My Aunt was in the said hospital, plus QP and the Royal Infirmary in Manchester last year. Even though my Aunt was incapable of eating, food was dropped on the table at the end of the bed, then duly collected untouched with the comment 'not hungry today?'
You have to feel sorry for the poor souls without friend or family. Who makes sure they are getting the subsistance they need?
