Revealed: the 82 'ghost wards' containing 1,400 empty NHS bedsNHS England figures show hospitals are mothballing more wards despite beds crisisHospitals are mothballing scores of wards, closing them to patients despite the NHS’s ongoing beds crisis, new figures reveal.At the last count in September 82 “ghost wards” were recorded containing 1,429 empty beds, the equivalent of two entire hospitals, according to data provided by hospital trusts across England. It represents a sharp increase on the 32 wards and 502 beds that were unused four years earlier, statistics obtained under freedom of information laws show.The closures, often a result of hospitals not having enough staff or the money to keep wards open, have occurred at a time when the health service is under unprecedented pressure and struggling to cope with demand for beds.Doctors’ leaders reacted with disbelief to the revelations.
One extra glass of wine 'will shorten your life by 30 minutes'Drinking is as harmful as smoking and consuming more than five drinks a week lowers life expectancy, say researchersDrinking will shorten your life, according to a major new study that suggests every glass of wine or pint of beer over the daily recommended limit will cut half an hour from the expected lifespan of a 40 year old.Those who think a glass of red wine every evening will help keep the heart healthy will be dismayed. The paper published in the Lancet medical journal says five standard 175ml glasses of wine or five pints a week is the upper safe limit – about 100g of alcohol, or 12.5 units in total. More than that raises the risk of stroke, fatal aneurysm (a ruptured artery in the chest), heart failure and death.The risks for a 40-year-old of drinking over the recommended daily limit were comparable to smoking, said one leading scientist.

Arkansas resident James Bates was charged with the murder of a man found dead in his hot tub in November 2015.Prosecutors used Bates’s “smart home” against him in course, citing information from a smart water meter to argue that someone was using a garden hose to clear blood off a patio.They also attempted to force Amazon to hand over information gathered from Bates’s Echo smart speaker, arguing that it could have made recordings that would shed light on what happened that night.
