Evening Press Reader's Letter
It seems incredible to me that Moors murderer Myra Hindley was treated by no less than three specialists at Addenbrook's Hospital, Cambridge.
In view of all the shortage of staff and subsequent bed shortage because of the flu epidemic why is it that a convicted killer had the services of no less than three specialists?
Barry Horne is back on hunger strike and has signed a living will refusing all medical treatment. The last protest ran up an unbelievable bill for treatment for £11,000.
I think the time has come to bow to his wishes. If he wants to die for animals let him get on with it. However much we love animals, people must always come first. My sympathies must go to people fighting for their lives and having to wait for much-needed operations because of people such as Horne.
Perhaps this proves that healthcare is indeed political.
