NHS Funding
30 Answers
If the NHS is in such need of funding then why not set up high street clinics, in the same way that they have in the spanish resorts, in some of the shops currently standing empty?
Then those idiots that are currently taken to A&E when they get themself falling down drunk can be treated on the high street, well away from ordinary patients.
They should be charged as private patients for the stomach pumping and/or any other treatment resulting from excessive drinking. The fact of a big bill as a result of their lack of self control might force them to grow up and take a look at themself and will also assist the NHS.

sqad knows about this same problem, it's been discussed so often.
Be in A&E any night of the week, and those taking up space after 11pm, worse at weekends, are those who have had too much too drink, or got involved in a fight or both. Add drugs into that and you have a free for all

Em, you didn't. Madmaggot did.
Madmaggot, is that comment to me? I'm simply trying to establish the pit falls in your suggestion of charging. If you look at my earlier post I did actually agree so etching along those lines would be a good idea. I didn't realise I wasn't allowed to disagree with you.

apologies then, i was just trying to say that enjoyment, having a laugh and a drink is one thing, but some of these binges people go on are downright dangerous, and if say just one time the person was made to pay for their treatment, paramedics, doctors etc, a fine of 50 quid, then chances are they won't be so eager to do it again, or better still they make suitable arrangements with mates to get home safely.
