Embarrassed This sounds unreal, I can't believe that hospital funds can be wasted in such a way. Many NHS hospitals are overspent on their budget, this news is an example as to how funds are wasted. That money can be put to better use, such as funding of research, improving infection control, or employing more nurses, to reduce the work load on nurses and in turn improve the quality of care.

Imagine if the patient's recovery is slow due to poor standard of care they will hardly make it to the door to appriciate a stone sculpture. Where is their sense of responsibilities and the ability to priotitise. That's why we need hospital directors with nursing backgrounds.
