Don't you think the following is a disgrace and a big slur on our health service, despite Mr Blair's vision of what he has improved in the NHS?

A lady, who is more than 80 years of age, extremely ill, in hospital for two weeks, was sent home by public transport.

She is terminally ill and has now received a letter to attend the outpatients' department, with instructions on how to get there by bus.

The lady in question is now in a nursing home. How dare they expect her to go by bus? And what is the point of the outpatients' appointment?
