BBC NEWS | Health | Neonatal units 'are overwhelmed'
I can't get over some people. A charity has commissioned some research into UK neonatal units and found that they were "overwhelmed".
They then go on to say that "..putting in 2,700 additional nurses could save the lives of up to 500 babies a year." Well, that's proportionate, isn't it? How many adult lives could an extra 2,700 intensive care nurses save? What about specialist palliative care nurses?
It's not even as if there are decent long-term outcomes for a lot of premature babies that require neonatal intensive care.
What really galls me is that services for elderly people are woeful - disgraceful in fact - and these are people who have paid taxes all their lives.
Dickheads.
God, I'm on one today and I've not even started yet!
