Citizens of UK come to defense of NHS

Still has a long way to go. I know some areas still have long waiting times although the government is trying to sort that out. Bet the new restriction hours on junior doctors is not helping matters

There are nursing homes for patients requiring nursing care and residential homes for people who do not require nursing care. Can be paid with privately or by social services. Sometimes assets can be taken into account. Care can be atrocious but then there are also some great care homes. Sometimes owners are in it just for the money and care workers will be expected to do everything bar cooking, i.e laundry, cleaning as well as caring for residents.
