The care in NHS hospitals is atrocious
It really is. Back in the mid 70’s, my SIL gave birth to her first child. She then spent the night in the hall of the NHS hospital as there weren’t any available beds in the wards. I suspect there haven’t been many hospitals built since then. And notice I said ‘wards’. 4 beds per room in most hospitals.....not many private rooms there. And as an aside, when I worked in the NHS in the 80’s, there were many who just went by ‘Lady X’ for their lab testing. The only way to follow them in our records (well before the WWW came to be), was by their birthdate......and many ‘Lady X’s’ had the same birthdate. The NHS has been a mess for decades. But Bernie and his fellow travelers delight their followers with the dreams of ‘free healthcare’.
