"funding inadequate and very evident"

had heart attack thursday and transferred to Papworth from Kings Lynn Saturday for angiogram and stent if required-

Sat evening had artery bleed and kept in overnight = told could go home on sunday and would not qualify for transport ???? live alone on state pension so funds not available for taxi as would cost approx 1 week pension but told by ward sister that my gp would not fund transport.

4 days after heart attack was expected to find my way to North Norfolk by sunday public transport.

I managed to get a lift but if it is considered medically sound for a 68 year old to deal with this situation then at is NOT safe medical practice is it?

Staff were amazing and grey with fatigue and to be honest I know funding is not forthcoming for NHS but surely accepting patients from such a wide area under these conditions is foolhardy and unsafe
