I think you need to see the difference between nursing and personal care.
Nurses are there to help ill people not those who need help with personal care like washing and dressing.
Time spent feeding/dressing/washing people who are not ill, is not what nurses should be doing on the NHS.
Clearly if someone is actually in in hospital then their personal needs have to be taken care of if they can't do it themselves, but people who are not ill should simply not be there.
Obviously they need care, but not in a hospital.
No-one was saying they shouldn't receive care, but not from health professionals.

i would just be grateful if the nurses in the ward my aunty is in would actually do their job ... that would be a nice start ...

Anyway, moving away from the discussion on economic migrants and illegal immigrants, let's get back to the core issue.

If you have the means to pay for your old age care, you should do it. It's a matter of pride.

But what the OP is doing, is trying to pass the buck to the state, so that he/she can benefit from the inheritance.

If some of you think that's ok, well good luck to you. I guess you have different moral standards to those I hold.

And i bet you live in an Ivory castle, in the moral high ground in england somewhere.
