What a way to go...

An elderly man died on a trolley in a hospital A&E in Belfast and his body lay undisturbed for 20 hours.
Initially, a hospital spokesperson claimed that he hadn't died alone. True in a sense, as he was probably surrounded by others on trolleys.
When the cuts really start to bite will hospital services get worse?

Not a bad result there; it took them 8 weeks and 3 collapses from de-hydration before the NHS eventually succeeded in killing my dad!
IMO The last place an elderly person should be is in hospital.
