Nah - silly old Mike L.
Haven’t you heard that as a prelude to revising the NHS (in only 3 sorry 10 years time) Liebour has come up with this wizard idea of “Mobile Wards”?
Now call me old-fashioned but I am sure that in a time not so very far, far away they were once called ambulances….

In the 1980s and 1990s health authorities all over England were saying we don't need all these sub acute community beds and closing wards and hospitals, so stupid now there is nowhere to empty non acute patients in acute beds too, councils are closing their care facilities now it's all a recipe for crisis.

Most non Western countries have multiple generations living together in one house. We choose to either move out or leave our elderly in their own homes alone or put them in a care home.

Try Russia for a start, and even the USA has loads of places where old folk are far worse off than here

I'm not thinking so, unless you're counting people that are homeless (which is overwhelmingly based on their own, often bad, decisions).
