I saw a programme recently that showed patients in hospital cost circa £500 per day. Yes, per day!. This drops to circa £500 per week if a place can be found for them in a rehabilitation centre. So you can see why there is a policy to get people out of hospital once they no longer need to be there and discharged either back to their homes or into rehab centres first off and then back home (if it ...
As there are a lot of us baby boomers (born circa 1944-1964) in, or coming up to, retirement and old age I thought I would post this http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-33552279 (btw - it might be an article that should be shown to our children as well just to make sure that they realise the money that they thought they might be inheriting from us (via our houses etc) when we all eventually ...

And will the toilets, which I believe are to be provided & maintained etc by ...

80. Public Conveniences They Mayor advised that following Teignbridge Council’s Executive meeting in September 2013 it had been decided to close 17 toilets within the District unless local parish and town councils wished to take over the responsibility of running them. Since that time, Town Councillors had been working quickly to ensure those toilets that were important to the local ...
