 5-star Treatment on the NHS
Even as the British government continues to cut jobs in order to reduce spending, the NHS has unveiled a bizarre promotion campaign through which patients are being kept at 5 star hotel rooms.
Some of the patients with the NHS are being allowed to stay in £265 a night hotel rooms which include a number of perks such as designer furniture, marble bathrooms and top-range flat-screen TVs.

More worrying to common Britons, the bills for such 5 star treatment are being paid by the taxpayers who are already reeling under severe cuts by the government including more than £20billion of cuts in the health care sector with thousands of health workers facing the danger of losing their jobs.

Says a spokesman for TaxPayers' Alliance, “It speaks volumes about the extortionate cost of our health service.”
