The government is planning to ease so-called bed blocking on NHS wards by sending recovering patients to "hospital hotels" |

Maybe at my age my memory is playing tricks, but in the 1950's/1960's, in Scotland anyway, many hospitals had convalescent wings/homes - so this is not really a new idea :-S |

Wonder where the 'nursing' staff for these new hotel style wards will come from as we cannot recruit enough to staff real wards!!!! |

In the Bromley area where I live, most of the land belonging to hospitals has been sold of to housing developers, it is only Orpington that has any land left and that hospital is about to meet it's demise shortly. |

One major problem with 'bed blockers' is that they have no-one to look after them once they go home. |

I think the idea is very scarey. I already have a do not resuscitate on my medical file. Swiss euthanasia clinic Dignitas is my ideal - http://www.dignitas.ch/?lang=en. |

In 1977 my father needed a fairly minor operation, after 4 days they sent him to an old isolation hospital in the town that had been turned into a convalescent home. |

There used to be dedicated Geriatric hospitals, but they were closed down in the 80s as being uneconomic to run. |

At the "moment" I think the cost will be picked up by the state. |
