1408693 2015-09-22 04:04:00 $26M is a drop in the bucket, almost irrelevant when you look at govt spend/wastage in general .

$26M on flag stuff, $30 Mil Americas Cup, Millions on 'hi-level' sports , millions on MP's overseas trips , a 'JetPack' , Millions on bale outs of Govt owned bankrupt companies . It just never ends .

Yes I can see where you’re coming from, but I wouldn’t call $26M a drop in the bucket.

But some serious belt tightening needs to be undertaken and I would suggest forgetting the flag and making about 30 MP’s redundant would be a good place to start. :D

Remember the old adage: Look after the Pennies and the Pounds will look after themselves. ;)

1408695 2015-09-22 04:32:00 I don't really think the hospital is responsible for getting him home safely. He comes in, they treat him, he's discharged. Perhaps he should have gotten a friend or family member to come pick him up. Nick G (16709)

You're suggesting that the hospital push him out the door if there's no-one to collect him. Don't you think that's a bit harsh?

It's health professionals that admit someone to hospital. They're the ones responsible for him being there. You seem to be implying they shouldn't have admitted this particular guy? Surely you're not suggesting they let him die in pre-admission?

1408698 2015-09-22 05:36:00 Well I think the Hospital had a fiduciary duty, or duty of care, and someone realised this in the end, (Winston) hence the Air Ambulance, Nurse etc.

However, that doesn’t excuse their initial position on the matter or the Health Ministers excuse.
