dudieezper Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 New year is a time of merriment and celebration. We just can't blame people if they got too drunk. If they drink, drive and encountered accident then they should pay. Well, this case really needs investigation. Angioplasty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asperity Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 It would really be nice to the drunk people that they are not paying the medical or hospital bills. If they are not obeying the law for the case then they might really need to pay the bills. To test if they are drunk is, test their breath. That makes sense - I think, or maybe not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter T Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 I will ask again. Qualify drunk. If I have 3 pints I am NOT drunk nor do I misbehave, but I could be attacked for no reason at all whilst walking home, and end up in hospital. Should I be expected to pay and if so, WHY????? The breathalyser determines whther a person is fit to drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qualify drunk.If I have 3 pints I am NOT drunk nor do I misbehave, but I could be attacked for no reason at all whilst walking home, and end up in hospital. Should I be expected to pay and if so, WHY????? The answers are in the original opening post of this thread: "Those admitted to hospital for less than 24 hours with acute alcohol intoxication should be charged the NHS tariff cost for their admission of 532 pounds." Drunk in this case is when the doctor says you need to be in hospital because you've had too much alcohol to be let out safely. You get charged if that's the ONLY reason you are admitted. So no, you don't get charged if your admission is for assault, even if you are drunk when assaulted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LymmParent Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Thank you for that clarification LP. May I quote you? If it gladdens your heart to do so..... but if you've had eleven pints and puked on a paramedic, don't expect it to get you a round of applause!
