To me THE MOST IMPORTANT issues are the next of kin be close to the patient and the nursing staff that look after our sick and injured be service personnel as they MUST have that black service sense of humour.
Perhaps the most important issue is that they get the best level of care possible. A Service input is important, but having been to a Service Hospital and been the only patient in the place (but some great dits from the PONN), I'd rather have a busy and experienced civilian team supporting me.
