doctors do have the power to withdraw food and drink from terminally ill patients - even if it is against their wishes.

Do they have the right to prevent patients from moving to a care facility (home maybe) that would provide food and water?

I'e got a friend in the UK. I'll email him and ask if he knows what the deal is with their National "Health" "Service." Are they a 100% monopoly? Are there private options, but only for the super-rich. T'would be good to know.
