People starved to death in NHS hospitals.

For every patient who dies from malnutrition, four more have dehydration mentioned on their death certificate
In 2011, 43 patients starved to death and 291 died in a state of severe malnutrition

Im not so sure its worth flying back for NHS care anymore..
Probably take our chances in a private hospital in Cebu.. At least we wont starve to death!
