While the nostalgic side of me likes the idea of dedicated military facilities, the breadth and extent of advanced medical care these days must be impractical to maintain and sustain in a purely military hospital. Given the choice, I would prefer to be sent to that part of Birmingham or other NHS locations where the specialists are at the forefront of their game, rather than be back in the Cold War times of being offered 2 paracetamol for a broken ankle (albeit that was a Stn duty medic not a hospital).
