Books but not beds |
| SIR - I am able to ask my librarian |
| to locate for me any book of my |
| choice. In about one minute flat, |
| after consulting her computer, she |
| can tell me whether the book is avail- |
| able at any library in the county. |
| A hospital urgently needed to |
| locate a bed for a child seriously ill |
| with meningitis, and it became nec- |
| essary for the doctors to telephone |
| each of 16 hospitals individually. The |
| child lost her life. |
| There must be something wrong |
| with our priorities. |
