This is appalling. Can't offer any practical advice, only lots of hugs for you all. And I'm another who says the military hospitals should not have been closed - I live 4 miles from Aldershot and the one there was fantastic. There's a 'Military wing' at our regional hospital 8 miles away, but it's not the same. And don't get my sister started on the subject - she was an officer in the QARANC (army nursing corps)!
