David Hooper is right that hospitals are not good places to live or die. They are good places to receive episodes of treatment.
The clamour to put people into hospitals comes because as yet there are too few environments that are better and safer for the old/chronically sick/multiply co-morbid who become acutely unwell.
The transfer from secondary to community care is not going to happen any time soon as there are too few mechanisms for transferring money to community services, and probably too little money in the system overall
