the last time i was in hospital, last summer, the only way of getting out was to agree to pay for home care myself - nhs-funded care was simply not available due to a chronic staff shortage. people needing care were stuck on wards for weeks - the so-called bed-blockers. i'm not complaining about the nhs here - in general the help and treatment i've received has been exemplary.
