This blog is a plea for common sense in public policy. Our leaders don't seem to have any. They just make daft rules for us to follow. We need to assert our right to use our own good sense instead of ticking boxes which can only say 'yes' or 'no'.

Old People in Hospital
Just because our old relatives are in hospital it doesn't mean we can shift all responsibility for their welfare onto the NHS and their over-worked nurses. We aren't caring for them at home - therefore we can surely afford some time and/or money to keep an eye on them. If we don't live anywhere near, and they don't have any friends/neighbours that drop in, then, shock-horror, we should pay somebody to visit them and report back to us This wouldn't be a luxury, but a necessity.
