It's a shame to castigate the NHS for not finding beds for new admissions, because the bed-blocking is often caused by their own humane regulations.
When I broke my hip I wasn't allowed home before re-learning how to go upstairs and would not be released until a hand-rail was installed on my own staircase. The delay for installing the hand-rail was 2 weeks. I was luckily able to afford to have the work done myself so only bed-blocked for 24 hours.
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'.
