Hospital life: a downgraded system?
Author takes a two-stage tour of the labyrinths of hospital regrading. Stage one this week shines a torch into some of the dark corners of a system that can keep a person waiting for a year or more on its decision to upgrade or not and, if he or she is lucky, another two or three months for the result of an appeal. The machinery creaks and a whole range of people are impatient with it.
