That is just f"ing stupid. The nursing home my relatives are in have dedicated staff. it would be a lot cheaper for the Government to pay for dedicated staff for ages care and seperate staff, rather than having to bail out the entire economy. Why can't the bureaucrats point this out and do it? Can't blame everything on the talking head politicians. Someone is sabotaging us, I refuse to accept there can be such incompetence at all levels.
