In hospital again for a family emergency, and the other thing that strikes me in addition to the willful destruction of the last 13 years is PFI.
A lot of money was put into schools and hospitals through Private Finance Initiatives in the late 90s and early 2000s; some of these projects had already been started before 1997. There were warnings then that the contracts were not binding enough to ensure the buildings were maintained, and that is definitely something I'm seeing here. Those who made their money need to be held to account.
This specific unit I am in was completed in 2006, late, and looks delapidated in so many places. https://www.building.co.uk/news/further-setback-at-hospital-delayed-by-jarvis-troubles/3061030.article
