THE closing of care homes has meant unfortunate old folk have spilled over into our hospitals -- through no fault of their own -- where the old and frail do not belong.
For their own well-being, they need far more attention and supervision than already over-worked hospital staff can offer.
Closing even more homes will cause even more problems.
The NHS needs help, not more totally unnecessary congestion.
We need more good care homes, not fewer.
P HOWARTH (Mrs), Harrison Drive, Colne.
