And I do hope that they will be able to do that. But that doesn't address the disturbing point that it was not the bean counters but the doctors that wanted to let her die.
The NHS in England is, I believe, in such poor shape that people who need elective surgery have to wait 3-4 months to get it done. The doctors probably hate to see badly-needed resources going to a dead end when so many other people need attention. I know it's harsh, but so is triage in battlefield conditions.
