Did you know it is nearly impossible to get admitted to hospital nowadays. !
Are you over 80-85 ? Don't bother even ringing !
Unless you have severe heart problems. Don't bother !. At best you may get to The Assessment Ward for a couple of days and and see a junior doctor. Who may be be good at removing splinters.
They usually tell you to go to you GP and wait many months for a hospital
appointment.
You can try going private which is quicker but that's not much better medically .After they have parted you from your money, which can be £thousands they may admit they can't do anything.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Not my experience as an elderly person. I was ambulanced to hospital, taken straight to the medical assessment ward, assessed, xrayed and blood tests. Drugs prescribed and given a further appointment for a non emergency scan to make sure there was nothing they had missed. At a further inpatient stay, many of us elderly folk were there for replacement parts and were treated the same as younger patients.
My late Mum was admitted three times in her Nineties, with little or no delay, and discharged fully fit.
Admittedly the first of these was initially into The Assessment Ward where the Senior Consultant concentrated on "No Resusitation" rather than remedy; but she was then transferred to a medical ward where two Junior Doctors conspired to bring her through successfully from a perforated bowel and associated Peritonitis. All under the NHS.
Based on anecdotal evidence, I think it depends on where you live (and sometimes even which ward you end up in).
