Hello Rob.

  Sorry I changed the title...

 -=> Quoting Rob Mccart to Peter Coggon <=-

 RM> I knew of someone who did something along the same lines.
 RM> Long waiting list for care facilities so they took Granny into
 RM> the hospital and dropped her off saying they were worried about
 RM> her state of mind, and then basically refused to pick her up
 RM> again and the hospital was forced to find a place for her.
 
 PC>   Yes, this has happened more then once at this hospital my
 >mother worked for.  It was a sick case of family not caring.

 RM> This wasn't even 'not caring'. They just didn't want to look after
 RM> her themselves, or couldn't financially with one having to quit their
 RM> job to do so, and they didn't want to pay someone else to care for
 RM> her during the day until an opening came up. I can understand not
 RM> wanting to have to wait but jumping the line is just hurting other
 RM> people instead. More selfish than sick..

 All this reminds me of the Hospital in Richmond Hill, and what staff
went through with the kids of a elderly mum dumped in there.
