YET again a 74-years-old man has died, being left in a cubicle for nine hours or more.

It is unbelievable that this keeps happening. Why? What makes it worse is he lived in sheltered housing and no one informed his family. Surely the warden and social services should have contacted his next of kin? It's so sad.

I swear by home covers. Mine, Richard, is always kind and helps us. He is the best, also the team are very good. I think also care line was the best thing brought out to deal with elderly sick people. I have found them so nice and reliable always. It's time the NHS was better. I, too, have waited a long time for appointments. But the doctors are so overworked.
