The food was indescribably bad - worse than when I was in hospital last, giving birth, a quarter of a century ago. Brand new hospital, built by PFI, catering courtesy of the construction company which funded it! Fortunately, mine was keyhole so I was in and out very quickly and fasting most of the time. But really - it's hard to imagine how anyone can get better on that slop, most of which gets sent back. I was by no means the only one complaining.

If you have considered contacting 38degrees.org.uk - they can help with epetition. At the very least via twitter, facebook and blog. I don't think they have any political party affiliations. They help to campaign for change via public support and opinion.<br />Just a thought...<br /><br />Best wishes<br />LdV<br />...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3835152205968344114.post-7511224930167856572011-10-31T22:55:36.382+00:002011-10-31T22:55:36.382+00:00I HOPE all is well with you Mr TM.

And every sign is great, but i think it's going to need some professional input for public attention. Or one of us here will have split the atom before 100,000 signs are gained. With many many millions of us in the UK, it is a relatively small number. And very feasible with the right help. So that's the easy part. The difficulty will come after that. As a democracy as we know it, it has two faces. The one we see and the one we don't.<br />However i firmly believe that public awareness of positive intention is tenfold more powerful than its negative counterpart, cynicism.<br /><br />As a population i think we need to find better and more organized ways of working together en masse. Then we would realize just how powerful we are as a collective.<br /><br />With the bewitching hours at Samhain - Halloween approaching.

And all the cash that would be saved by reducing complications (pressure sores, dehydration, malnutrition, chest infections etc etc...litigation...) would pay for the increase in nursing numbers.

If New Zealand can afford it then so should we? What are the real reasons?

If it is passed on enough and properly, it can and WILL easily exceed this. As this will definitely sooner or later effect us all one way or another.
