Hospitals are big, impersonal places and people who go there as patients are generally not ill. We all know it is a far more sensible investment to spend money on wellness programmes but when the chips are down the politicians and managers take the ‘easy’ option of building more hospitals. This is a cultural thing and we need to keep ramming home the simple point that hospitals are places to go to ONLY when we are ill. Thanks again for your excellent observations.Trevor Gayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01148705981847576706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9533912.post-1159257313892829662006-09-26T08:55:00.000+01:002006-09-26T08:55:00.000+01:00Strikes me that we ought not to be building very l...Strikes me that we ought not to be building very large hospitals anyway: why cause traffic congestion, patient congestion, all the usual Big Organisation Problems and a feeling of being a very small patient in a very large factory? Hospitals should be a reasonable size where people (staff and patients) feel at ease and dedicated to getting people better.<BR/><BR/>I'd divert some of the funds Trevor will release to local doctor surgeries where wellness programmes can be directed at local communities.Mark JFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02236513919422053237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9533912.post-1158737409418077762006-09-20T08:30:00.000+01:002006-09-20T08:30:00.000+01:00Great stuff Sean - I have responded on TP!Great stuff Sean - I have responded on TP!Trevor Gayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01148705981847576706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9533912.post-1158695274118883092006-09-19T20:47:00.000+01:002006-09-19T20:47:00.000+01:00Seems like TREVOR AND GULLIVER probably think 823 ...Seems like TREVOR AND GULLIVER probably think 823 slides is HARDLY ENOUGH GIVEN THE WAY THEY CRAVE WORD SMITHING at length - even with the Devil himself [herself] PERHAPS? :>] :>]<BR/><BR/>Posted by sean at September 19, 2006 02:36 PM<BR/><BR/>Trevor - can you believe this - I'm mockingly using your blog for a totally unrelated blog which I've secretly embedded on the TP site!
