Not surprised. My MiL is currently in hospital at end of life. She had correct surname, wrong first name above her bed. if they can't get the basics right, what chance.https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/n...

Yes, we don't spend as much as other countries on health, and generally sure most NHS workers do their best.
But the overall culture allows poor performance to exist and survive. A bit like the police turning a blind eye to racist or violent officers on those whatapp groups. A few "bad apples", but they're bad in plain sight.
