I have to say that how can the NHS be expected to pay for drugs that cost the earth, Cancer drugs come to mind, have you ever thought how much you and me have donated to cancer research only to find that the drug companies make a fantastic profit and because of cost the patient suffers, so why is it that we keep on paying vast amounts of money to cover research when it is the drug companies make a killing by charging an arm and a leg for them.
The cost of hospital treatment is becoming prohibitive, an operation now costs the earth as do recovery drugs, a stay in hospital might just cost all you have ever paid in for national insurance and possibly far more, the one problem for me is the quality of food, food is a quick road to recovery if you eat well good quality food you get well quicker, unfortunately many hospitals provide flash frozen food that is re heated on the ward, steamed they say!, that is if you call standing the plate of food on a second plate of water and a plastic cover and put in a microwave as stemming, this in effect ads lots of extra water to the meal so that it is swimming in fluid, not at all appetizing and of course tasteless often extending your stay in hospital, many elderly patients loose a considerable amount of weight some are to frail that this weight loss is not at all acceptable, but if you are putting rubbish food in front of them is it not surprising they have this weight loss, the government has finally woken up and told hospitals that local seasonable food has to be provided, I have to say this is not before time!!!.,
