Who rescues the rescuers?
Who rescues the rescuers, I ask? Sitting at home today, having decided it’s impossible to get to work in snow which is apparently the worst in London for 19 years, I see an RAC van stuck in the road outside my window, accompanied by another RAC van that has come to rescue it, only also to get stuck. I’ve often been caused to wonder who deals with the social workers who beat their children or neglect their elders. Yesterday, a nursing colleague who is in hospital has been plied with requests by her consultant to have a private room, on the grounds that she should have the privileges of a senior NHS staff member. Equality of access to health care?
