Politically I wobble about in the middle, but I have to agree with @bella that the Welfare state has enabled a large section of society to see no need for self care and to just rely on the good old NHS when their obesity/diabetes/heart disease etc needs sorting. Add that to a growing and ageing population and something has to give.
I also agree with @kerry that seeing anyone neglected as her father was is very distressing. No, it is not the staffs fault (although I think less managers and more less qualified nurses would be a massive help) but nor am I sure that money can fix the state we are in. Boris’ £100m is needed though.

Mine comes in twice a week, about 6 hours total, I pay her £50 pw.

@mooncat 6 hours a week? Do you live in a mansion or literally just drop muck everywhere you go?
