I wonder who are the biggest idiots in this world, this world of so-called. austerity and hardship. Especially as we are told every day how hard up our NHS service is.

Today, I was amazed, I had to attend our hospital in Hereford for a scan.

The waiting area had been transformed, no longer were the comfortable chairs there, they had been removed and replaced by some very hard uncomfortable blue plastic stackable chairs.

ALSO READ:

Surely, surely there are so many places in the NHS where that money could have been put to better use? I would like to put the person responsible for this purchase to sit on these chairs for 15 minutes as many of us are now forced to do.

I was told that they are easier to clean, but most of the staff I spoke to said that was not the case and everybody is complaining how uncomfortable they are.

As regards cleaning them, well, we are now allowed not to wear even a face mask to prevent the spread of infection.

Actually, how much did it cost to replace the seats?
