Could it be that hospitals are always trying to cut costs and our public system is being screwed by the politicians who keep cutting budgets?

Note, a lot of times, you have to just take it yourself. No one is going to offer you nothing in life.

I have had 2 kids at the Mater hospital in North Sydney (private hospital) in the last decade, and they seem to have a preferred provider ie they will offer you s26, but only if you ask.

Then I went to the feeding area when wife and baby was asleep and while playing on my phone, I saw some parents taking a lot of stuff from cupboard. Then I went to their cupboard to see what goodies there and found lots of little bottles of formula and some Karicare hiding there. However, the shelves were overwhelmingly s26, maybe because they have a deal and supply in bulk.
